The purpose o

12、f this standard is definition of an energy backed byte addressable function on a nonvolatile dual in-line memory module (NVDIMM). This standard defines the feature set and commands implemented by the energy backed byte addressable function on the NVDIMM. Introduction NVDIMM is a DDRbased memory modu

13、le that can be integrated into a standard platform. An Energy Backed Byte Addressable Function on a NVDIMM is designed to preserve data in the event of the power failure. An Energy Backed Byte Address Function is backed by a combination of SDRAM and non-volatile memory (e.g., NAND flash) on the NVDI

14、MM. It operates at DDR speeds and can provide persistent storage by backing up the SDRAM contents into the non-volatile memory in the event of a power failure. This is made possible by an Energy Source (e.g., super-capacitor) which maintains charge on the module enabling back-up of data from SDRAM t

15、o the non-volatile memory, providing a storage-class memory solution. To be able to provide interoperability and the ability for platform and platform software (e.g., BIOS) to support NVDIMMs from various manufacturers, standardization of the host to module interface, discovery mechanism, the featur

16、e set and command operations are required, as described in this document. JEDEC Standard No. 245 Page 1 BYTE ADDRESSABLE ENERGY BACKED INTERFACE (From JEDEC Board Ballot JCB-15-44, formulated under the cognizance of the JC-45.6 Subcommittee on Hybrid Modules.) 1 Scope This standard specifies the hos

17、t and device interface for a DDR4 DIMM interface module that achieves non-volatility by copying SDRAM contents into non-volatile memory when Host power is lost using an Energy Source managed by either the module or the Host. Although this standard is targeted towards DDR4 NVDIMM only, it does not pr

18、eclude adoption of this standard by other implementations (e.g., DDR3 NVDIMM). 2 Normative References The following normative documents contain provisions that, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, an

32、 to). Expected - A keyword used to describe the behavior of the hardware or software in the design models assumed by this standard. Other hardware and software design models may also be implemented. Ignored - A keyword that describes bits, bytes, quadlets, or fields whose values are not checked by t

33、he recipient. Mandatory - A keyword that indicates items required to be implemented as defined by this standard. May - A keyword that indicates a course of action permissible within the limits of the standard (may equals is permitted). Must - The use of the word must is deprecated and shall not be u

34、sed when stating mandatory requirements; must is used only to describe unavoidable situations. Optional - A keyword that describes features which are not required to be implemented by this standard. However, if any optional feature defined by the standard is implemented, it shall be implemented as d

35、efined by the standard. Reserved - A keyword used to describe objectsbits, bytes, and fieldsor the code values assigned to these objects in cases where either the object or the code value is set aside for future standardization. Usage and interpretation may be specified by future extensions to this

36、or other standards. A reserved object shall be zeroed or, upon development of a future standard, set to a value specified by such a standard. The recipient of a reserved object shall not check its value. The recipient of a defined object shall check its value and reject reserved code values. Shall -

37、 A keyword that indicates a mandatory requirement strictly to be followed in order to conform to the standard and from which no deviation is permitted (shall equals is required to).

39、equired; or that (in the negative form) a certain course of action is deprecated but not prohibited (should equals is recommended that). Will - The use of the word will is deprecated and shall not be used when stating mandatory requirements; will is only used in statements of fact. 3.4 Conventions T

40、his standard uses the following conventions: A binary number is represented in this standard by any sequence of digits consisting of only the Western-Arabic numerals 0 and 1 immediately followed by a lower-case b (e.g., 0101b). Spaces may be included in binary number representations to increase read

41、ability or delineate field boundaries (e.g., 0 0101 1010b). A hexadecimal number is represented in this standard by any sequence of digits consisting of only the Western-Arabic numerals 0 through 9 and/or the upper-case English letters A through F immediately followed by a lower-case h (e.g., FA23h)

42、. Spaces may be included in hexadecimal number representations to increase readability or delineate field boundaries (e.g., B FD8C FA23h). A decimal number is represented in this standard by any sequence of digits consisting of only the Western-Arabic numerals 0 through 9 not immediately followed by

43、 a lower-case b or lower-case h (e.g., 25). A range of numeric values is represented in this standard in the form “a to z“, where a is the first value included in the range, all values between a and z are included in the range, and z is the last value included in the range (e.g., the representation

44、“0h to 3h“ includes the values 0h, 1h, 2h, and 3h). When the value of the bit or field is not relevant, x or xx appears in place of a specific value. JEDEC Standard No. 245 Page 5 4 NVDIMM overview For modules containing both SDRAM and non-volatile memory, a non-volatile DIMM (NVDIMM) can be created

45、 if the contents of the SDRAM can be persisted to the non-volatile memory when power is lost using an alternative power source and the contents of the SDRAM restored when power is available. This type of NVDIMM is classified as one that supports the Byte Addressable Energy Backed Interface. This sta

46、ndard defines the host and device interface for a DDR4 DIMM interface module that implements the Byte Addressable Energy Backed Interface. The module achieves non-volatility by copying SDRAM contents into non-volatile memory when Host power is lost using an Energy Source managed by either the module

47、 or the Host. The Byte Addressable Energy Backed Interface is controlled by the Host through a set of I2C registers using the standard I2C Bus implemented through the SCL and SDA pins on the DDR4 bus. Centralized Energy Source power is provided through the 12 V pin on the DDR4 bus. Energy Source (Op
