Mode register bits M0–M2 specify the burst length,
M3 specifies the type of burst (sequential or inter-
leaved), M4–M6 specify the CAS latency, M7 and M8
specify the operating mode, M9 specifies the write
burst mode, and M10 and M11 are reserved for future
use. Address A12 (M12) is undefined but should be
driven LOW during loading of the mode register.
The mode register must be loaded when all device
banks are idle, and the controller must wait the speci-
fied time before initiating the subsequent operation.
Violating either of these requirements will result in
unspecified operation.
Burst Length
Read and write accesses to the SDRAM are burst ori-
ented, with the burst length being programmable, as
on page 9. The burst length determines the maximum
number of column locations that can be accessed for a
given READ or WRITE command. Burst lengths of 1, 2,
4, or 8 locations are available for both the sequential
and the interleaved burst types, and a full-page burst is
available for the sequential type. The full-page burst is
used in conjunction with the BURST TERMINATE
command to generate arbitrary burst lengths.
Reserved states should not be used, as unknown
operation or incompatibility with future versions may
result.
When a READ or WRITE command is issued, a block
of columns equal to the burst length is effectively
selected. All accesses for that burst take place within
this block, meaning that the burst will wrap within the
block if a boundary is reached, as shown in
Table 7,uniquely selected by A1–A8 when the burst length is
set to two; by A2–A8 when the burst length is set to
four; and by A3–A8 when the burst length is set to
eight. The remaining (least significant) address bit(s) is
(are) used to select the starting location within the
block. Full-page bursts wrap within the page if the
Burst Type
Accesses within a given burst may be programmed
to be either sequential or interleaved; this is referred to
as the burst type and is selected via bit M3.
The ordering of accesses within a burst is deter-
mined by the burst length, the burst type and the start-
