System Architecture
SDCLK[1] OCZ SDRAM Clocks (output) Connect SDCLK[1] and
SDCLK[2] to the clock pins of SDRAM in bank pairs 0/1
and 2/3, respectively. They are driven by either the
internal memory controller clock, or the internal memory
controller clock divided by 2. At reset, all clock pins are
free running at the divide by 2 clock speed and may be
turned off via free running control register bits in the
memory controller. The memory controller also provides
control register bits for clock division and deassertion of
each SDCLK pin. SDCLK[2:1] control register assertion
bits are always deasserted upon reset.
