Revision Number (REV)—R/W. Reflects the revision number of the format used for SDRAM
register definition. Currently, this field must be 00, since this revision (rev 00) is the only existing
version of the specification.

29
Initialization Complete (IC)—R/W. This bit is used for communication of software state
between the memory controller and the BIOS. BIOS sets this bit to 1 after initialization of the
DRAM memory array is complete.

28
Dynamic Powerdown Mode Enable—R/W. When set, the system memory controller will put a
pair of rows into powerdown mode when all banks are pre-charged (closed). Once a bank is
accessed, the relevant pair of rows is taken out of powerdown mode.

The entry into powerdown mode is performed by de-activation of CKE. The exit is performed by
activation of CKE.

0 = Disable. System memory powerdown disabled
1 = Enable. System memory powerdown enabled
Note: Dynamic powerdown is a mobile only feature and not supported on desktop applications.
