Read Interrupted by a Read
A Burst Read can be interrupted before completion of the burst by new Read command of any bank. When the previous
burst is interrupted, the remaining addresses are overridden by the new address with the full burst length. The data from the
first Read command continues to appear on the outputs until the CAS latency from the interrupting Read command is
satisfied. At this point the data from the interrupting Read command appears. Read to Read interval is minimum 1 Clock.
<Burst Length = 4, CAS Latency = 3>

Read Interrupted by a Write & Burst Stop
To interrupt a burst read with a write command, Burst Stop command must be asserted to avoid data contention on the I/O
bus by placing the DQ’s(Output drivers) in a high impedance state. To insure the DQ’s are tri-stated one cycle before the
beginning the write operation, Burt stop command must be applied at least RU(CL) clocks [RU means round up to the nearest
integer] before the Write command.
