Auto Refresh
Single cycle of auto-refresh is initiated with a REFA (CS = RAS =
CAS = L, WE = CKE = H) command. The refresh address is gener-
ated internally. 4096 REFA cycles within 64 ms refresh 16 Mbit
memory cells. The auto-refresh is performed on each bank alter-
nately (ping-pong refresh). Before performing an auto-refresh, both
banks must be in the idle state. Additional commands must not be
supplied to the device before tRC from the REFA command.

Self Refresh
Self-refresh mode is entered by issuing a REFS command (CS =
RAS = CAS = L, WE = H, CKE = L). Once the self-refresh is initi-
ated, it is maintained as long as CKE is kept low. During the self-
refresh mode, CKE is asynchronous and the only enabled input (but
asynchronous), all other inputs including CLK are disabled and
ignored, and power consumption due to synchronous inputs is
saved. To exit the self-refresh, supplying stable CLK inputs, assert-
ing DESEL or NOP command and then asserting CKE (REFSX).
After tRC from REFSX both banks are in the idle state and a new
command can be issued after tRC, but DESEL or NOP commands
must be asserted till then.
