Preliminary Information
Programming Notes
This register is not initialized at reset. BIOS must initialize all bits in this register prior to setting the SDRAM_Init bit (See
“Bit Definitions DRAM Mode/Status (Dev0:F0:0x58)” on page 57) or attempting DRAM access for correct operation.
The required settings for the wait state bits for SBP_Wait_State and Rd_Wait_State are listed in Table 8.

This bit field (t
RCD
) is the timing value (RAS to CAS latency, delay from activate to RD/WR
command).
11 = 4 cycles
10 = 3 cycles (recommended “safe” configuration)
01 = 2 cycles
00 = 1 cycle
