4.3.1 Memory Array Configuration
The memory controller supports up to four 64-bit SDRAM
banks, with maximum of eight physical devices per bank.
Banks 0: 1 and 2: 3 must be identical configurations. Two
168-pin unbuffered SDRAM modules (DIMM) satisfy these
requirements Though the following discussion is DIMM
centric, DIMMs are not a system requirement. Each DIMM
receives a unique set of RAS, CAS, WE, and CKE lines.
Each DIMM can have one or two 64-bit DIMM banks. Each
DIMM bank is selected by a unique chip select (CS). There
are four chip select signals to choose between a total of
four DIMM banks. Each DIMM bank also receives a unique
SDCLK. Each DIMM bank can have two or four component
banks. Component bank selection is done through the
bank address (BA) lines.
For example, 16-Mbit SDRAM have two component banks
and 64-Mbit SDRAMs have two or four component banks.
For single DIMM bank modules, the memory controller can
support two DIMM with a maximum of eight component
banks. For dual DIMM bank modules, the memory control-
ler can support two DIMMs with a maximum of 16 compo-
nent banks. Up to 16 banks can be open at the same time.
Refer to the SDRAM manufacturer’s specification for more
information on component banks.
