Description
IO0 ~ IO7(~ IO15)
DQ0 ~ DQ7
DQ0_x ~ DQ7_x
I/O
DATA INPUTS/OUTPUTS
These signals are used to input command, address and data, and to output data
during read operations. The signals float to high-z when the chip is deselected or
when the outputs are disabled. IO0 ~ IO15 are used in a 16-bit wide target
configuration. With multi channel support, IO0_0~IO7_0 and IO0_1~IO7_1 are
used for IOs of channel 0 and IOs of channel 1 respectively. Also known as
DQ0~DQ7 for Toggle DDR and Synchronous DDR.
The number after the underscore represents the channel. For example, DQ0_0
indicates DQ0 of channel-0 and DQ0_1 does DQ0 of channel-1.
CLE_x I
COMMAND LATCH ENABLE
The CLE_x signal is one of the signals used by the host to indicate the type of
bus cycle (command, address, data).
ALE_x I
ADDRESS LATCH ENABLE
The ALE_x signal is one of the signals used by the host to indicate the type of
bus cycle (command, address, data).
CEx_x_n I
CHIP ENABLE
The CEx_x_n input is the target selection control. When CEx_x_n is high and
the target is in the ready state, the target goes into a low-power standby state.
When CEx_x_n is low, the target is selected.
The number after the first underscore represents the channel. For example,
CE0_0_n indicates CE0_n of channel-0 and CE0_1_n does CE0_n of channel-
1.
WE_x_n I
WRITE ENABLE
The WE_x_n input controls writes to the I/O port. For Asynchronous SDR Data,
commands, addresses are latched on the rising edge of the WE_x_n pulse. For
Toggle DDR commands, addresses are latched on the rising edge of the
WE_x_n pulse.
R/B_x_n O
READY/BUSY OUTPUT
The R/B_x_n output indicates the status of the target operation. When low, it
indicates that one or more operations are in progress and returns to high state
upon completion. It is an open drain output and does not float to high-z condition
when the chip is deselected or when outputs are disabled.
RE_x_n
(RE_x_t)
I
READ ENABLE
The RE_x_n input is the serial data-out control. For Asynchronous SDR Data is
valid tREA after the falling edge and for Toggle DDR Data is valid after the falling
edge & rising edge of RE_x_n which also increments the internal column
address counter by each one.
RE_x_c I
Complement of Read Enable
This is the complementary signal to Read Enable
DQS_x
(DQS_x_t)
I/O
Data Strobe
The data strobe signal that indicates the data valid window for Toggle DDR and
Synchronous DDR data interface. Output with read data, input with write data.
Edge-aligned with read data, centered in write data.
DQS_x_c I/O
Complement of Data Strobe
This is the complementary signal to Data Strobe.
W/R_x I
Write/Read Direction
The Write/Read Direction signal indicates the owner of the DQ bus and DQS
signal in the Synchronous DDR data interface. This signal shares the same pin
as RE_x_n in the asynchronous data interface.
