5.1 Read (25 MHz)
The Read instruction, 03H, supports up to 25 MHz
Read. The device outputs a data stream starting from
the specified address location. The data stream is con-
tinuous through all addresses until terminated by a low-
to-high transition on CE#. The internal address pointer
automatically increments until the highest memory
address is reached. Once the highest memory address
is reached, the address pointer automatically incre-
ments to the beginning (wrap-around) of the address
space. For example, for 2 Mbit density, once the data
from the address location 3FFFFH is read, the next out-
put is from address location 000000H. The Read
instruction is initiated by executing an 8-bit command,
03H, followed by address bits A
23
-A
0
. CE# must
remain active low for the duration of the Read cycle.
See Figure 5-1 for the Read sequence.

5.2 High-Speed-Read (40 MHz)
The High-Speed-Read instruction supporting up to 40
MHz Read is initiated by executing an 8-bit command,
0BH, followed by address bits [A
23
-A
0
] and a dummy
byte. CE# must remain active low for the duration of the
High-Speed-Read cycle. See Figure 5-2 for the High-
Speed-Read sequence.
Following a dummy cycle, the High-Speed-Read
instruction outputs the data starting from the specified
address location. The data output stream is continuous
through all addresses until terminated by a low-to-high
transition on CE#. The internal address pointer will
automatically increment until the highest memory
address is reached. Once the highest memory address
is reached, the address pointer will automatically incre-
ment to the beginning (wrap-around) of the address
space. For example, for 2 Mbit density, once the data
from address location 3FFFFH is read, the next output
will be from address location 000000H.
