Figure 11 and Figure 12 show how the logical address bits map to the row, column, bank, and chip select
bits all combinations of IBANK and PAGESIZE values. Note that the upper three bits of the logical address
cannot be used for memory addressing, as the DDR2 memory controller has a maximum addressable
memory range of 512M bytes.
The DDR2 memory controller address pins provide the row and column address to the DDR2 SDRAM,
thus the DDR2 memory controller appropriately shifts the logical address during row and column address
selection. The bank address is driven to the DDR2 SDRAM using the bank address pins. The two lower
bits of the logical address decode the value of the byte enable pins (only used for accesses less than the
width of the DDR2 memory controller data bus).

Figure 11 shows how the DSP memory map is partitioned into columns, rows, and banks. Note that during
a linear access, the DDR2 memory controller increments the column address as the logical address
increments. When the DDR2 memory controller reaches a page/row boundary, it moves onto the same
page/row in the next bank. This movement continues until the same page has been accessed in all banks.
To the DDR2 SDRAM, this process looks as shown on Figure 14.
By traversing across banks while remaining on the same row/page, the DDR2 memory controller
maximizes the number of activated banks for a linear access. This results in the maximum number of
open pages when performing a linear access being equal to the number of banks. Note that the DDR2
memory controller never opens more than one page per bank.
