10.5.7.4 SDRAM Auto Refresh Cycle
Auto refresh, as shown in Figure 10-12, is used during normal operation of the SDRAM
and is analogous to the CAS
-before-RAS refresh in EDO DRAMs. This command is
nonpersistent, so it must be issued each time a refresh is required. The internal banks will
be precharged and idle for a minimum of the Precharge time (T
RP
) before the Auto Refresh
command is applied. When the refresh cycle has completed, all the banks of the SDRAM
will be in the precharged (idle) state. Note that this figure shows a staggered refresh cycle,
as described in “Refresh Control” on page 10-18.
The purpose of the programmable reset in the memory controller is to maintain the state
of the SDRAM during a reset. This allows SDRAM refreshes to occur during reset. See
Chapter 6, “Reset Generation”, for more information.
