SDRAM storer 2 is a kind of high capacity, high-speed storer.And in various random access memory parts, the price of SDRAM is low, volume is little, speed is fast, capacity is big, is more satisfactory device.But the steering logic more complicated of SDRAM requires also very strictly to sequential, use very inconveniently, and this just requires a special controller, makes system user can operate SDRAM easily.
The pin of SDRAM device is divided into control signal, address and data three classes.Comprise several BANK among the common SDRAM, the storage unit of each BANK is by the row and column addressing.Because this special storage organization, SDRAM has following operating characteristic.
The initialization of SDRAM: SDRAM must be disposed the mould ground formula register of SDRAM by an initialize process behind 100~200 μ s that power on, the value of mode register is determining the mode of operation of SDRAM.
Storage unit access: for reducing the I/O pin number, SDRAM multiplexing address line so when read-write SDRAM, activate the BANK that will read and write by the ACTIVE order earlier, and latch row address, latchs column address then when read write command is effective.In case could activate same BANK once more after having only the preliminary filling order of execution after BANK is activated.
Refresh and preliminary filling: the storage unit of SDRAM can be understood as an electric capacity, and always therefore inclined discharge must have the refresh cycle regularly to avoid loss of data.Refresh cycle can be calculated by (minimum refresh cycle ÷ clock period) and be obtained.To BANK precharge or close the BANK that has activated, but preliminary filling particular B ANK also can act on all BANK simultaneously, and A10, BA0 and BA1 are used to select BANK.
Operation control:--the concrete control command of-SDRAM is assisted by some special-purpose control pins and address wire and is finished.CS, RAS, CAS and WR are in the state decision concrete operations action of rising edge clock, and address wire and BANK select control line to import as auxiliary parameter in the part operation action.Because special storage organization, the SDRAM operational order is many, has only simple read-write unlike SRAM.
NAND FLASH flash memory 3 and NOR FLASH flash memory 4 are two kinds of main nonvolatile flash memory technology on the present market.Intel at first developed NOR flash technology in 1988, thoroughly changed the situation that was originally ruled all the land by EPROM and EEPROM.And then, 1989, Toshiba delivered NAND FLASH structure, emphasized to reduce the cost of every bit, higher performance, and can easily upgrade by interface as disk.
In most cases flash memory just is used for storing a spot of code, and at this moment the NOR flash memory is more suitable for.NAND then is the ideal solution of the high density of data storage.
The characteristics of NOR are to carry out (XIP, eXecute In Place) in the chip, and application program can directly be moved in the FLASH flash memory like this, needn't read code among the RAM of system again.
The transfer efficiency of NOR is very high, has very high cost benefit when the low capacity of 1~4MB, but the very low performance that has influenced it with erasing speed greatly that writes.
Enable nand gate can provide high cell density, can reach high storage density, and the speed that writes and wipe is also very fast.The difficulty of using NAND is the management of FLASH and needs special system interface.
The FLASH flash memory is a nonvolatile memory, can carry out erasable and programming again to the memory cell block that is called piece.The write operation of any FLASH device can only be carried out in sky or the unit of having wiped, so in most cases, must carry out earlier before carrying out write operation and wipe.It is foolproof that the NAND device is carried out erase operation, and NOR then requires positions all in the object block all to be written as 0 earlier before wiping.Because be that piece with 64~128KB carries out when wiping the NOR device, the time of carrying out a write/erase operation is 5s, in contrast, the piece of wiping the NAND device and being with 8~32KB carries out, and the execution identical operations at most only needs 4ms.The difference of piece size had further widened the performance gap between NOR and the NADN when execution was wiped, and statistics shows, must carry out in based on the unit of NOR for the given more erase operation of a cover write operation (when especially upgrading small documents).
Like this, when selecting storage solution, the designer must weigh following every factor: the read rate of NOR is faster slightly than NAND; The writing speed of NAND is fast more a lot of than NOR; The 4ms erasing speed of NAND is fast more than the 5s of NOR; Most of write operations need be carried out erase operation earlier; The erase unit of NAND is littler, and corresponding erasing circuit still less.
The interface difference: NOR FLASH has the SRAM interface, has enough address pin to come addressing, at an easy rate each byte of its inside of access.The NAND device uses complicated I/O mouth to come access data serially, and the method for each product or manufacturer may have nothing in common with each other.8 pins are used for transmitting control, address and data message.The piece of 512 bytes is adopted in NAND read and write operation, and this point is this generic operation of picture hard disk management a bit, very naturally, just can replace hard disk or other block devices based on the storer of NAND.
Capacity and cost: the unit size of NAND FLASH almost is half of NOR device, because production run is more simple, enable nand gate can provide higher capacity in given die size, has also just correspondingly reduced price.It is the major part in 1~16MB flash memory market that NOR FLASH has occupied capacity, and NAND FLASH just is used in the middle of the product of 8~128MB, and this illustrates that also NOR is mainly used in the code storage medium, and NAND is suitable for data storage.
Reliability and durability: a problem that needs emphasis to consider is a reliability when adopting the FLASH medium.For the system of needs expansion MTBF, Flash is very suitable storage scheme.Can handle three reliabilities that comparison NOR and NAND are come in the aspect from life-span (durability), position exchange and bad piece.
Life-span (durability): the maximum erasable number of times of each piece is 1,000,000 times in nand flash memory, and the erasable number of times of NOR is 100,000 times.Nand memory is except having 10 to 1 piece erase cycle advantage, and typical NAND piece size is littler 8 times than NOR device, and the deletion number of times of each nand memory piece in the given time will lack.
The position exchange: all FLASH devices all are subjected to the puzzlement of position exchange phenomenon.(rarely found, the number of times that NAND takes place is more than NOR) in some cases, a bit can take place to reverse or reversed by report.One variation may be not clearly, if still occur on the critical file, this slight hitch may cause system-down.If just report has problem, mutiread just may solve several times.Certainly, if this position has really changed, just must adopt error detector/error correction (EDC/ECC) algorithm.The problem of bit reversal more is more common in nand flash memory, when the supplier of NAND advises using nand flash memory, uses the EDC/ECC algorithm simultaneously.This problem is not fatal for NAND storage multimedia messages the time.Certainly, if when coming storage operating system, configuration file or other sensitive informations, must use the EDC/ECC system to guarantee reliability with local memory device.
Bad piece is handled: the bad piece in the NAND device is a stochastic distribution.The effort of eliminating bad piece was also once arranged in the past, but find that yield rate is too low, cost is too high, and is not to one's profit.The NAND device need carry out initialization scan finding bad piece to medium, and bad piece is labeled as unavailable.In Manufactured device,, will cause high failure rate if can not carry out this processing by reliable method.
Be easy to use: can very directly use flash memory, can as other storeies, connect based on NOR, and can direct in the above operation code.Owing to need the I/O interface, NAND is more complex.The access method of various NAND devices is different because of producer.When using the NAND device, must write driver earlier, could continue to carry out other operations.Need suitable skill to NAND device writing information, because the designer must not write to bad piece, this just means on the NAND device all must carry out virtual map from start to finish.
Software is supported: when the software support is discussed, should distinguish basic read/write/wiping operation and higher leveled software that is used for disk emulation and flash memory management algorithm, comprise performance optimization.On the NOR device operation code without any need for the software support, when on the NAND device, operating equally, need driver usually, memory techniques driver (MTD) just, NAND and NOR device all need MTD when writing with erase operation.Needed MTD will lack relatively when using the NOR device, and many manufacturers all are provided for the more high-level software of NOR device.Drive the management that also is used for the DiskOnChip product is carried out emulation and nand flash memory, comprise error correction, the processing of bad piece and loss balancing.
Power management chip 5 and LED indicating module 7 can not only guarantee power on and the power supply disturbed condition under the reliable reset arm processor guarantee its reliability service, close corresponding power supply in the time of can also being in battery saving modes such as sleep at arm processor.LED light can the current working condition of indication mechanism.
DDR SDRAM 200PIN DDR SO-DIMM memory interface 6, it is the SO_DIMM200 golden finger, its dimensions meets SO-DIMM200 encapsulation standard, and this memory interface 6 is described by the DDR internal memory standard that JEDEC (meeting of electronic component industrial combination) formulates, and is of a size of the 67.6X31.75X1 millimeter.Reach 200 leading foots, fully expanded the hardware resource of system module, allow the user can not have limitation and freely carry out back-plane design.
