288-Pin DDR4 RDIMM Core
General Description
General Description
High-speed DDR4 SDRAM modules use DDR4 SDRAM devices with two or four internal
memory bank groups. DDR4 SDRAM modules utilizing 4- and 8-bit-wide DDR4 SDRAM
devices have four internal bank groups consisting of four memory banks each, provid-
ing a total of 16 banks. 16-bit-wide DDR4 SDRAM devices have two internal bank
groups consisting of four memory banks each, providing a total of eight banks. DDR4
SDRAM modules benefit from the DDR4 SDRAM's use of an 8n-prefetch architecture
with an interface designed to transfer two data words per clock cycle at the I/O pins. A
single READ or WRITE operation for the DDR4 SDRAM effectively consists of a single
8n-bit-wide, four-clock data transfer at the internal DRAM core and eight correspond-
ing n-bit-wide, one-half-clock-cycle data transfers at the I/O pins.
DDR4 modules use two sets of differential signals: DQS_t and DQS_c to capture data
and CK_t and CK_c to capture commands, addresses, and control signals. Differential
clocks and data strobes ensure exceptional noise immunity for these signals and pro-
vide precise crossing points to capture input signals.
Fly-By Topology
DDR4 modules use faster clock speeds than earlier DDR technologies, making signal
quality more important than ever. For improved signal quality, the clock, control, com-
mand, and address buses have been routed in a fly-by topology, where each clock, con-
trol, command, and address pin on each DRAM is connected to a single trace and ter-
minated (rather than a tree structure, where the termination is off the module near the
connector). Inherent to fly-by topology, the timing skew between the clock and DQS sig-
nals can be accounted for by using the write-leveling feature of DDR4.

288-Pin DDR4 RDIMM Core
Thermal Sensor with SPD EEPROM Operation
EVENT_n Pin
The thermal sensor also adds the EVENT_n pin (open-drain), which requires a pull-up
to V DDSPD. EVENT_n is a thermal sensor output used to flag critical events that can be
set up in the sensor’s configuration registers. EVENT_n is not used by the serial pres-
ence-detect (SPD) EEPROM.
EVENT_n has three defined modes of operation: interrupt, comparator, and TCRIT. In
interrupt mode, the EVENT_n pin remains asserted until it is released by writing a 1 to
the clear event bit in the status register. In comparator mode, the EVENT_n pin clears
itself when the error condition is removed. Comparator mode is always used when the
temperature is compared against the TCRIT limit. In TCRIT only mode, the EVENT_n
pin is only asserted if the measured temperature exceeds the TCRIT limit; it then re-
mains asserted until the temperature drops below the TCRIT limit minus the TCRIT
hysteresis.
Note: EVENT_n is NF on DIMMs without thermal sensor.
The first 384 bytes are programmed by Micron to comply with JEDEC standard JC-45,
"Appendix X: Serial Presence Detect (SPD) for DDR4 SDRAM Modules." The remaining
128 bytes of storage are available for use by the customer.
The EEPROM resides on a two-wire I2C serial interface and is not integrated with the
memory bus in any manner. It operates as a slave device in the I2C bus protocol, with all
operations synchronized by the serial clock. Transfer rates of up to 1 MHz are achieva-
ble at 2.5V (NOM).

Registering Clock Driver Operation
Control Words
The RCD device(s) used on DDR4 RDIMMs, LRDIMMs, and NVDIMMs contain configu-
ration registers known as control words, which the host uses to configure the RCD
based on criteria determined by the module design. Control words can be set by the
host controller through either the DRAM address and control bus or the I2C bus inter-
face. The RCD I 2C bus interface resides on the same I2C bus interface as the module
temperature sensor and EEPROM.
Parity Operations
The RCD includes a parity-checking function that can be enabled or disabled in control
word RC0E. The RCD receives a parity bit at the DPAR input from the memory control-
ler and compares it with the data received on the qualified command and address in-
puts; it indicates on its open-drain ALERT_n pin whether a parity error has occurred. If
parity checking is enabled, the RCD forwards commands to the SDRAM when no parity
error has occurred. If the parity error function is disabled, the RCD forwards sampled
commands to the SDRAM regardless of whether a parity error has occurred. Parity is al-
so checked during control word WRITE operations unless parity checking is disabled.
Rank Addressing
The chip select pins (CS_n) on Micron's modules are used to select a specific rank of
DRAM. The RDIMM is capable of selecting ranks in one of three different operating
modes, dependent on setting DA[1:0] bits in the DIMM configuration control word lo-
cated within the RCD. Direct DualCS mode is utilized for single- or dual-rank modules.
For quad-rank modules, either direct or encoded QuadCS mode is used.

Electrical Specifications
Stresses greater than those listed may cause permanent damage to the module. This is a
stress rating only, and functional operation of the module at these or any other condi-
tions outside those indicated in each device's data sheet is not implied. Exposure to ab-
solute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may adversely affect reliability.

Electrical Specifications
Notes: 1. Maximum operating case temperature; TC is measured in the center of the package.
2. A thermal solution must be designed to ensure the DRAM device does not exceed the
maximum TC during operation.
3. Device functionality is not guaranteed if the DRAM device exceeds the maximum TC dur-
ing operation.
4. If TC exceeds 85°C, the DRAM must be refreshed externally at 2X refresh, which is a 3.9µs
interval refresh rate.
5. The refresh rate must double when 85°C < TOPER ≤ 95°C.
6. Storage temperature is defined as the temperature of the top/center of the DRAM and
does not reflect the storage temperatures of shipping trays.
7. The normal temperature range specifies the temperatures at which all DRAM specifica-
tions will be supported. During operation, the DRAM case temperature must be main-
tained between 0°C and 85°C under all operating conditions for the commercial offer-
ring; The industrial temperature offering allows the case temperature to go below 0°C
to -40°C
8. For additional information, refer to technical note TN-00-08: "Thermal Applications"

DRAM Operating Conditions
Design Considerations
Simulations
Micron memory modules are designed to optimize signal integrity through carefully de-
signed terminations, controlled board impedances, routing topologies, trace length
matching, and decoupling. However, good signal integrity starts at the system level. Mi-
cron encourages designers to simulate the signal characteristics of the system's memo-
ry bus to ensure adequate signal integrity of the entire memory system.
Power
Operating voltages are specified at the edge connector of the module, not at the DRAM.
Designers must account for any system voltage drops at anticipated power levels to en-
sure the required supply voltage is maintained.
