Signal Name Description Direction / Buffer
Type
SA_RAS#
RAS Control Signal: This signal is used with SA_CAS# and
SA_WE# (along with SA_CS#) to define the SRAM Commands.
O
DDR3/DDR3L
SA_CAS#
CAS Control Signal: This signal is used with SA_RAS# and
SA_WE# (along with SA_CS#) to define the SRAM Commands.
O
DDR3/DDR3L
SA_DQS[8:0]
SA_DQSN[8:0]
Data Strobes: SA_DQS[8:0] and its complement signal group
make up a differential strobe pair. The data is captured at the
crossing point of SA_DQS[8:0] and SA_DQS#[8:0] during read
and write transactions.
I/O
DDR3/DDR3L
SA_DQ[63:0]
Data Bus: Channel A data signal interface to the SDRAM data
bus.
I/O
DDR3/DDR3L
SA_MA[15:0]
Memory Address: These signals are used to provide the
multiplexed row and column address to the SDRAM.
O
DDR3/DDR3L
SA_CK[3:0]
SDRAM Differential Clock: These signals are Channel A
SDRAM Differential clock signal pairs. The crossing of the
positive edge of SA_CK and the negative edge of its complement
SA_CK# are used to sample the command and control signals on
the SDRAM.
O
DDR3/DDR3L
SA_CKE[3:0]
Clock Enable: (1 per rank). These signals are used to:
• Initialize the SDRAMs during power-up
• Power-down SDRAM ranks
• Place all SDRAM ranks into and out of self-refresh during STR
O
DDR3/DDR3L
SA_CS#[3:0]
Chip Select: (1 per rank). These signals are used to select
particular SDRAM components during the active state. There is
one Chip Select for each SDRAM rank.
O
DDR3/DDR3L
SA_ODT[3:0]
On Die Termination: Active Termination Control. O

Type
SB_BS[2:0]
Bank Select: These signals define which banks are selected
within each SDRAM rank.
O
DDR3/DDR3L
SB_WE#
Write Enable Control Signal: This signal is used with
SB_RAS# and SB_CAS# (along with SB_CS#) to define the
SDRAM Commands.
O
DDR3/DDR3L
SB_RAS#
RAS Control Signal: This signal is used with SB_CAS# and
SB_WE# (along with SB_CS#) to define the SRAM Commands.
