Peripheral Architecture

Setting the self refresh (SR) bit in the SDRAM refresh control register (SDRFC) to 1 forces the DDR2
memory controller to place the external DDR2 SDRAM in a low-power mode (self refresh), in which the
DDR2 SDRAM maintains valid data while consuming a minimal amount of power. When the SR bit is
asserted, the DDR2 memory controller continues normal operation until all outstanding memory access
requests have been serviced and the refresh backlog has been cleared. At this point, all open pages of
DDR2 SDRAM are closed and a self-refresh (SLFRFR) command (an autorefresh command with
DDR_CKE low) is issued.

The DDR2 memory controller exits the self-refresh state when a memory access is received or when the
SR bit in SDRFC is cleared. While in the self-refresh state, if a request for a memory access is received,
the DDR2 memory controller services the memory access request, returning to the self-refresh state upon
completion.

The DDR2 memory controller will not exit the self-refresh state (whether from a memory access request or
from clearing the SR bit) until T_CKE + 1 cycles have expired since the self-refresh command was issued.
The value of T_CKE is defined in the SDRAM timing 2 register (SDTIM2).

After exiting from the self-refresh state, the DDR2 memory controller will not immediately start using
commands. Instead, it will wait T_SXNR + 1 clock cycles before issuing non-read commands and
T_SXRD + 1 clock cycles before issuing read commands. The SDRAM timing 2 register (SDTIM2)
programs the values of T_SXNR and T_SXRD.

The DDR2 memory controller has two reset signals, VRST and VCTL_RST. VRST is a module-level reset
that resets both the state machine and the DDR2 memory controller memory-mapped registers.
VCTL_RST resets the state machine only. If the DDR2 memory controller is reset independently of other
peripherals, your software should not perform memory or register accesses while VRST or VCTL_RST are
asserted. If memory or register accesses are performed while the DDR2 memory controller is in the reset
state, other masters may hang. Following the rising edge of VRST or VCTL_RST, the DDR2 memory
controller FIFOs are lost.

Table 8

describes the different methods for asserting each reset signal. The

Power and Sleep Controller (PSC) acts as a master controller for power management for all of the
peripherals on the device.
