7.5.2.17 Dynamic Memory Load Mode Register to
Active Command Time Register (DYNAMICTMRD)
The Dynamic Memory Load Mode Register to Active Command Time Register specifies
the Load Mode Register to Active Command Time, tMRD. This value is normally found in
SDRAM data sheets as tMRD, or tRSA.
These registers must only be modified during system initialization, or when there are
no current or outstanding transactions. Software can ensure that there are no current or
outstanding transactions by waiting until the memory controller is idle, then entering
Low-Power Mode (CONTROL:MODE = 1), or Disable Mode (CONTROL:ENABLE = 0).
When in these two modes, external memory access is not allowed, ensuring that
changing parameters will not corrupt external data. Low-Power Mode automatically
refreshes SDRAM; Disable Mode requires commanding the SDRAM to Self Refresh
(DYNMCTRL:SR = 1) prior to entering Disable.
