BURST LENGTH

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

mand to generate arbitrary burst lengths.

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.
