CAS Latency (Tcl) Read only This controls the timing delay (in clock cycles) before SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it. When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed separately. This setup item allows you to determine the timing of the transition from RAS (row address strobe) to CAS (column address strobe). The less the clock cycles, the faster the DRAM performance. RAS/CAS Delay (Trcd) Read only 69 http://www. tyan. com Feature Option NorthBridge Chipset Configuration Description This setting allows you to select the number of clock cycles allotted for the RAS pulse width, according to DRAM specifications. The less the clock cycles, the faster the DRAM performance. This item controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be allowed to precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its chage before DRAM refresh, refresh may be incomplete and DRAM may fail to retain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. Other values add to or subtract from hardware generated value. RAS#-active to RAS#-active or auto refresh of the same bank.
