The Read command that interrupts a write burst without auto precharge function should be
issued one cycle after the clock edge in which the last data-in element is registered. In order to
avoid data contention, input data must be removed from the DQs at least one clock cycle before the
first read data appears on the outputs (refer to the following figure). Once the Read command is
registered, the data inputs will be ignored and writes will not be executed.

Input data must be removed from the DQ's at least one clock
cycle before the Read data appears on the outputs to avoid
data contention.
Input data for the write is masked.

The BankPrecharge/PrechargeAll command that interrupts a write burst without the auto
m
precharge function should be issued cycles after the clock edge in which the last data-in element
m
is registered, where
equals tWR/tCK rounded up to the next whole number. In addition, the
LDQM/UDQM signals must be used to mask input data, starting with the clock edge following the
last data-in element and ending with the clock edge on which the BankPrecharge/PrechargeAll
command is entered (refer to the following figure).
