Bank interleaving

SDRAM divides memory into two to four banks for simultaneous access to more data. This division

and simultaneous access is known as interleaving. Using a notebook analogy, two-way interleaving is

like dividing each page in a notebook into two parts and having two assistants to each retrieve a

different part of the page. Even though each assistant must take a break (be refreshed), breaks are

staggered so that at least one assistant is working at all times. Therefore, they retrieve the data much

faster than a single assistant could get the same data from one whole page, especially since no data

can be accessed when a single assistant takes a break. In other words, while one memory bank is

being accessed, the other bank remains ready to be accessed. This allows the processor to initiate a

new memory access before the previous access has been completed, resulting in continuous data

flow.

The bandwidth capacity of the memory bus increases with its width (in bits) and its frequency (in

MHz). By transferring 8 bytes (64 bits) at a time and running at 100 MHz, SDRAM increases memory

bandwidth to 800 MB/s, 50 percent more than EDO DRAMs (533 MB/s at 66 MHz).

To achieve higher memory subsystem capacity, some DIMMs have register logic chips (registers) that

act as a pass-through buffer for address and command signals (Figure 6). Registers prevent the

chipset from having to drive the entire arrangement of DRAM chips on each module. Rather, the

chipset drives only the loading of the registers on each module. The register on each DIMM re-drives

the address and command signals to the appropriate DRAM chip. Simultaneously, a phase lock loop

chip on the registered DIMM generates a second clock signal that runs synchronously with the system

bus clock. This prevents the system bus clock signal from having to drive all the DRAM chips, and it

allows the addition of more memory modules to the memory bus to increase memory capacity.
