CAS Latency

The CAS latency is the delay, in clock cycles, between the registration of a READ command and the availability of the first piece of

output data. The latency can beset to two or three clocks. If aREADcommand is registered at clock edgen,and the latency is

clocks, the data will be available by clock edge

1), and provided that the relevant access times are met, the data will be valid by clock edge

clock cycle time is such that all relevant access times are met, if a READ command is registered at T0 and the latency is programmed to

two clocks, the DQs will start driving after T1 and the data will be valid by T2, as shown in Figure 6. Reserved states should not be used

as unknown operation or incompatibility with future versions may result.

Operating Mode

The normal operating mode is selected by setting M7 and M8 to zero; the other combinations of values for M7 and M8 are reserved

for future use and/or test modes. The programmed burst length applies to both READ and WRITE bursts. Test modes and reserved

states should not be used because unknown operation or incompatibility with future versions may result.

Write Burst Mode

When M9 = 0, the burst length programmed via M0-M2 applies to both READ and WRITE bursts; when M9 = 1, the programmed

burst length applies to READ bursts, but write accesses are single-location (nonburst) accesses.
