Table 7 shows the COP field encoding. The device must be

in the ATTN power state in order to receive COLC packets.

The COLC packet is used primarily to specify RD (read) and

WR (write) commands. Retire operations (moving data from

the write buffer to a sense amp) happen automatically. See

Figure 18 for a more detailed description.

The COLC packet can also specify a PREC command,

which precharges a bank and its associated sense amps. The

RDA/WRA commands are equivalent to combining RD/WR

with a PREC. RLXC (relax) performs a power mode transi-

tion. See “Power State Management” on page 50.

Table 8 shows the COLM and COLX field encodings. The

M bit is asserted to specify a COLM packet with two 8 bit

bytemask fields MA and MB. If the M bit is not asserted, an

COLX is specified. It has device and bank address fields,

and an opcode field. The primary use of the COLX packet is

to permit an independent PREX (precharge) command to be

specified without consuming control bandwidth on the ROW

pins. It is also used for the CAL(calibrate) and SAM

(sample) current control commands (see “Current and

Temperature Control” on page 56), and for the RLXX power

mode command (see “Power State Management” on page

50).
