7.6. Read Data Bytes (READ) (03H)
The Read Data Bytes (READ) command is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), each bit being latched-in during
the rising edge of SCLK. Then the memory content, at that address, is shifted out on SO, each bit being shifted out, at a
Max frequency fR, during the falling edge of SCLK. The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is
automatically incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. The whole memory can, therefore,
be read with a single Read Data Bytes (READ) command. Any Read Data Bytes (READ) command, while an Erase,
Program or Write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

7.7. Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (Fast Read) (0BH)
The Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (Fast Read) command is for quickly reading data out. It is followed by a 3-byte
address (A23-A0) and a dummy byte, each bit being latched-in during the rising edge of SCLK. Then the memory content,
at that address, is shifted out on SO, each bit being shifted out, at a Max frequency fC, during the falling edge of SCLK. The
first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address after each
byte of data is shifted out.
