CAS Latency
Operating Mode
TheꢀCASꢀlatencyꢀisꢀtheꢀdelay,ꢀinꢀclockꢀcycles,ꢀbetweenꢀ
the registrationꢀofꢀaꢀREADꢀcommandꢀandꢀtheꢀavailabilityꢀofꢀ
theꢀfirstꢀpieceꢀofꢀoutputꢀdata.ꢀTheꢀlatencyꢀcanꢀbeꢀsetꢀtoꢀtwoꢀorꢀ
three clocks.
TheꢀnormalꢀoperatingꢀmodeꢀisꢀselectedꢀbyꢀsettingꢀM7ꢀandꢀM8ꢀ
toꢀzero;ꢀtheꢀotherꢀcombinationsꢀofꢀvaluesꢀforꢀM7ꢀandꢀM8ꢀareꢀ
reservedꢀforꢀfutureꢀuseꢀand/orꢀtestꢀmodes.ꢀTheꢀprogrammedꢀ
burstꢀlengthꢀappliesꢀtoꢀbothꢀREADꢀandꢀWRITEꢀbursts.
IfꢀaꢀREADꢀcommandꢀisꢀregisteredꢀatꢀclockꢀedgeꢀn,ꢀandꢀ
the latency is m clocks, the data will be available by clock
edge n + m.ꢀTheꢀDQsꢀwillꢀstartꢀdrivingꢀasꢀaꢀresultꢀofꢀtheꢀ
clock edge one cycle earlier (n + m - 1), and provided that
the relevant access times are met, the data will be valid by
clock edge n + m.ꢀForꢀexample,ꢀassumingꢀthatꢀtheꢀclockꢀ
cycle time is such that all relevant access times are met,
ifꢀaꢀREADꢀcommandꢀisꢀregisteredꢀatꢀT0ꢀandꢀtheꢀlatencyꢀ
isꢀprogrammedꢀtoꢀtwoꢀclocks,ꢀtheꢀDQsꢀwillꢀstartꢀdrivingꢀ
afterꢀT1ꢀandꢀtheꢀdataꢀwillꢀbeꢀvalidꢀbyꢀT2,ꢀasꢀshownꢀinꢀCASꢀ
Latencyꢀdiagrams.ꢀTheꢀAllowable Operating Frequency
table indicates the operating frequencies at which each
CAS latency setting can be used.

cause unknown operation or incompatibility with future
versions may result.
Write Burst Mode
When M9 = 0, the burst length programmed via M0-M2
appliesꢀtoꢀbothꢀREADꢀandꢀWRITEꢀbursts;ꢀwhenꢀM9ꢀ=ꢀ1,ꢀ
theꢀprogrammedꢀburstꢀlengthꢀappliesꢀtoꢀREADꢀbursts,ꢀbutꢀ
write accesses are single-location (nonburst) accesses.
