Normal mode
1
Enter self-refresh mode (reset value on
reset_n
)
By writing 1 to this bit, self-refresh can be entered under software
control. Writing 0 to this bit returns the memory controller to
normal mode.
The self-refresh acknowledge bit in the Status register must be
polled to discover the current operating mode of the memory
controller.
Note:
The memory controller exits from power-on reset with the
self-refresh bit on high. To enter normal functional mode,
set the self-refresh bit low. Writing to this register with the
bit set to high places the register into self-refresh mode.
This functionality allows data to be stored over SDRAM
self-refresh of the ASIC is powered down.
