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 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 corresponding 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 easily accounted for by using the write-leveling feature of DDR4.

Address Mapping to DRAM
Address Mirroring
To achieve optimum routing of the address bus on DDR4 multi rank modules, the ad-
dress bus will be wired as shown in the table below, or mirrored. For quad rank mod-
ules, ranks 1 and 3 are mirrored and ranks 0 and 2 are non-mirrored. Highlighted ad-
dress pins have no secondary functions allowing for normal operation when cross-
wired. Data is still read from the same address it was written. However, Load Mode op-
erations require a specific address. This requires the controller to accommodate for a
rank that is "mirrored." Systems may reference DDR4 SPD to determine if the module
has mirroring implemented or not. See the JEDEC DDR4 SPD specification for more de-
tails.

Registering Clock Driver Operation
Registered DDR4 SDRAM modules use a registering clock driver device consisting of a
register and a phase-lock loop (PLL). The device complies with the JEDEC DDR4 RCD
specification.

To reduce the electrical load on the host memory controller's command, address, and
control bus, Micron's RDIMMs utilize a DDR4 registering clock driver (RCD). The RCD
presents a single load to the controller while redriving signals to the DDR4 SDRAM de-
vices, which helps enable higher densities and increase signal integrity. The RCD also
provides a low-jitter, low-skew PLL that redistributes a differential clock pair to multiple
differential pairs of clock outputs.
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 I
2
C bus inter-
face. The RCD I
2
C bus interface resides on the same I
2
C 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, dependant 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.
