BURST LENGTH
Read and write accesses to the SDRAM are burst oriented,
with the burst length being programmable, as shown in
MODE REGISTER DEFINITION. The burst length deter-
mines 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 com-
mand 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, mean-
ing that the burst will wrap within the block if a boundary is
reached. The block is uniquely selected by A1-A7 (x32)
when the burst length is set to two; by A2-A7 (x32) when the
burst length is set to four; and by A3-A7 (x32) 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
boundary is reached.
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 determined by the
burst length, the burst type and the starting column address,
as shown in BURST DEFINITION table.
