Bit Description

15 - 10

reserved (0)

9 - 8

add one-clock delay to idle/pipeline DRAM leadoff when =01 (all other values are illegal)

7  -5

SDRAM mode select
000 = normal operation
001 = issue NOP command on all CPU-to-SDRAM cycles
010 = issue All-Banks-Precharge command on all CPU-to-SDRAM cycles
011 = issue mode register set command on CPU-to-SDRAM cycles (command is driven on memory address lines, so the proper address must be calculated for each row of memory to drive the correct command; MAx[2:0] must be driven to 010 for burst-of-4 mode, MAx3 to 1 for interleave wrap type, MAx4 to the value of the CAS# latency bit, MAx[6:5] to 01, and MAx[12:7] to 0000000
100 = issue CBR cycles on all CPU-to-SDRAM cycles
101 = reserved
110 = reserved
111 = reserved

4

"SDRAMPWR" specifies how CKE signals are driven for various DRAM configurations; refer to #01145 bit 5

3

Leadoff Command Timing
0 = four CS# clocks (100 MHz or 66 MHz desktop if MAA/MAB load > 9)
1 = three CS# clocks (66 MHz mobile platforms, or desktop w/ load <= 9)

2

CAS# latency
0 = three DCLKs
1 = two DCLKs

1

SDRAM RAS# to CAS# delay
0 = three clocks
1 = two clocks

0

SDRAM RAS# precharge
0 = three clocks
1 = two clocks
