low. Once ZZ returns high in this mode, the PSRAM goes back
to operating in full address refresh. The protocols shown on
the “PAR Register Description Table” and in the “PAR Register
Update — Timing Waveform” will have to be followed to turn
on/off this mode of operation. Once the PAR register is
updated, all future PAR accesses will use the contents of the
PAR register when ZZ returns low. If the customer wants to
change the PAR space, the PAR register must be updated per
the instruction in the “PAR Register Description Table” section
of this data sheet.
Low-Power Modes
The CYU001M16OFFA provides four distinct operation modes
for reducing standby power:
1. reduced memory size operation
2. partial array refresh
3. deep sleep mode
4. temperature controlled self refresh.
Reduced Memory Size Operation
If the PAR register is not updated after power-up, the PSRAM
will be in its default state. In the default state, the whole
memory array will be refreshed.
In this mode, the device can be operated as a reduced size
PSRAM. For example, one could operate the 16M PSRAM as
a 4M or a 8M memory block. The protocol to turn on/off the
sections of the memory is described in the PAR register
description. The RMS mode can be enabled by having the
appropriate setting in the PAR register. The mode is effective
once ZZ goes high and remains in the RMS mode until full
array is restored by accessing the PAR register again.
Deep Sleep Mode
In this mode, the data integrity in the PSRAM is not
guaranteed. This mode can be disabled by writing 1 into bit
5(A4) of the PAR register. At any point of time, the Deep Sleep
Mode can be enabled by driving ZZ low and then changing bit
A4 to 0. Once this is done, the PSRAM enters the deep sleep
mode. The device stays in the deep sleep mode until ZZ is
driven High. Once the PSRAM enters the Deep Sleep Mode,
the content of the PAR register is destroyed and the PAR
register would go into the default state upon normal operation.
At power up, all four sections of the die are activated and the
PSRAM enters into its default state of full memory size and
refresh space.
Partial Array Refresh
The PAR mode allows customers to turn off sections of the die
in the stand-by mode to save standby current. The 16M
MoBL3 is divided into four 4M sections allowing certain
sections to be active (i.e., refreshed). The PAR mode also
allows a customer to go into a low-power mode with ZZ tied
low and keeps the data in a certain section of memory.
Temperature Controlled Refresh
The device has an automatic temperature controlled refresh
circuitry. This allows the device to adjust the refresh rate based
on the junction temperature of the device. The number of
refreshes are in proportion to the temperature. This allows the
standby current to decrease at lower temperatures. Please
see the section on Thermal Characteristics for the junction
temperature calculation.
In the PAR, the PSRAM will only refresh certain portions of the
memory, as configured by the user. This mode is only for
standby operation, and is applicable as long as ZZ remains
