NOTE
:
1. The CL setting and CWL setting result in tCK(AVG).MIN and tCK(AVG).MAX requirements. When making a selection of tCK(AVG), both need to be fulfilled: Requirements
from CL setting as well as requirements from CWL setting.
2. tCK(AVG).MIN limits: Since CAS Latency is not purely analog - data and strobe output are synchronized by the DLL - all possible intermediate frequencies may not be guar-
anteed. An application should use the next smaller JEDEC standard tCK(AVG) value (2.5, 1.875, 1.5, or 1.25 ns) when calculating CL [nCK] = tAA [ns] / tCK(AVG) [ns],
rounding up to the next "SupportedCL".
3. tCK(AVG).MAX limits: Calculate tCK(AVG) = tAA.MAX / CL SELECTED and round the resulting tCK(AVG) down to the next valid speed bin (i.e. 3.3ns or 2.5ns or 1.875 ns or
1.25 ns). This result is tCK(AVG).MAX corresponding to CL SELECTED.
4. "Reserved" settings are not allowed. User must program a different value.
5. Any DDR3-1066 speed bin also supports functional operation at lower frequencies as shown in the table which are not subject to Production Tests but verified by Design/
Characterization.
6. Any DDR3-1333 speed bin also supports functional operation at lower frequencies as shown in the table which are not subject to Production Tests but verified by Design/
Characterization.
7. Any DDR3-1600 speed bin also supports functional operation at lower frequencies as shown in the table which are not subject to Production Tests but verified by Design/
Characterization.
8. For devices supporting optional downshift to CL=7 and CL=9, tAA/tRCD/tRP min must be 13.125 ns or lower. SPD settings must be programmed to match. For example,
DDR3-1333(CL9) devices supporting downshift to DDR3-1066(CL7) should program 13.125 ns in SPD bytes for tAAmin (Byte 16), tRCDmin (Byte 18), and tRPmin (Byte
20). DDR3-1600(CL11) devices supporting downshift to DDR3-1333(CL9) or DDR3-1066(CL7) should program 13.125 ns in SPD bytes for tAAmin (Byte16), tRCDmin (Byte
18), and tRPmin (Byte 20). Once tRP (Byte 20) is programmed to 13.125ns, tRCmin (Byte 21,23) also should be programmed accordingly. For example, 49.125ns (tRASmin
+ tRPmin=36ns+13.125ns) for DDR3-1333(CL9) and 48.125ns (tRPmin=35ns+13.125ns) for DDR3-1600(CL11).
