Mode Register Set (MRS)
ꢀ
The Mode Register stores the data for controlling various operating modes of a DDR SDRAM. It programs
CAS Latency, Burst Type, and Burst Length to make the DDR SDRAM useful for a variety of applications. The
default value of the Mode Register is not defined; therefore the Mode Register must be written by the user.
Values stored in the register will be retained until the register is reprogrammed. The Mode Register is written by
asserting Low on

progress prior to writing into the mode register, and CKE should be High). The state of address pins A0~A12
and BA0, BA1 in the same cycle in which and are asserted Low is written into the Mode

Register. A minimum of two clock cycles, tMRD, are required to complete the write operation in the Mode
Register. The Mode Register is divided into various fields depending on functionality. The Burst Length uses
A0~A2, Burst Type uses A3, and CAS Latency (read latency from column address) uses A4~A6. A logic 0
should be programmed to all the undefined addresses to ensure future compatibility. Reserved states should
not be used to avoid unknown device operation or incompatibility with future versions. Refer to the table for
specific codes for various burst lengths, burst types and CAS latencies.
