82854 Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)
82 D15343-003
11 Activate to Precharge delay (tRAS), MAX:
This bit controls the maximum number of clocks that a DDR SDRAM bank can remain open. After
this time period, the system memory Controller will guarantee to pre-charge the bank. Note that
this time period may or may not be set to overlap with time period that requires a refresh to
happen.
The DDR SDRAM Controller includes a separate tRAS-MAX counter for every supported bank.
With a maximum of four rows and four banks per row, there are 16 counters.
