15-14 — Reserved, should be cleared.
13 NAM No address multiplexing. Some implementations require external multiplexing. For example, when linear
addressing is required, the SDRAM should not multiplex addresses on SDRAM accesses.
0 The SDRAM controller multiplexes the external address bus to provide column addresses.
1 The SDRAM controller does not multiplex the external address bus to provide column addresses.
12 COC Command on SDRAM clock enable (SCKE). Implementations that use external multiplexing (NAM = 1) must
support command information to be multiplexed onto the SDRAM address bus.
0 SCKE functions as a clock enable; self-refresh is initiated by the SDRAM controller through DCR[IS].
1 SCKE drives command information. Because SCKE is not a clock enable, self-refresh cannot be used (setting
DCR[IS]). Thus, external logic must be used if this functionality is desired. External multiplexing is also
responsible for putting the command information on the proper address bit.
11 IS Initiate self-refresh command.
0 Take no action or issue a
1 If DCR[COC] = 0, the SDRAM controller sends a
low-power, self-refresh state where they remain until IS is cleared. When IS is cleared, the controller sends a
command for the SDRAMs to exit self-refresh. The refresh counter is suspended while the SDRAMs

determines the number of bus clocks inserted between a

8–0 RC Refresh count. Controls refresh frequency. The number of bus clocks between refresh cycles is (RC + 1) x 16.
Refresh can range from 16–8192 bus clocks to accommodate both standard and low-power SDRAMs with bus
clock operation from less than 2 MHz to greater than 50 MHz.
The following example calculates RC for an auto-refresh period for 4096 rows to receive 64 ms of refresh every
15.625 µs for each row (1031 bus clocks at 66 MHz). This operation is the same as in asynchronous mode.
# of bus clocks = 1031 = (RC field + 1) x 16
RC = (1031 bus clocks/16) -1 = 63.44, which rounds to 63; therefore, RC = 0x3F.
