WRITE Operation
WRITE Operation
WRITE bursts are initiated with a WRITE command, as shown in Figure 12 (page 31).
The starting column and bank addresses are provided with the WRITE command and
auto precharge is either enabled or disabled for that access. If auto precharge is ena-
bled, the row being accessed is precharged at the completion of the burst. For the ge-
neric WRITE commands used in the following figures, auto precharge is disabled.
During WRITE bursts, the first valid data-in element is registered coincident with the
WRITE command. Subsequent data elements are registered on each successive positive
clock edge. Upon completion of a fixed-length burst, assuming no other commands
have been initiated, the DQ will remain at High-Z and any additional input data will be
ignored (see Figure 27 (page 56)). A continuous page burst continues until terminated;
at the end of the page, it wraps to column 0 and continues.
Data for any WRITE burst can be truncated with a subsequent WRITE command, and
data for a fixed-length WRITE burst can be followed immediately by data for a WRITE
command. The new WRITE command can be issued on any clock following the previ-
ous WRITE command, and the data provided coincident with the new command ap-
plies to the new command (see Figure 28 (page 57)). Data n + 1 is either the last of a
burst of two or the last desired data element of a longer burst.
SDRAM devices use a pipelined architecture and therefore do not require the 2n rule as-
sociated with a prefetch architecture. A WRITE command can be initiated on any clock
cycle following a previous WRITE command. Full-speed random write accesses within a
page can be performed to the same bank, as shown in Figure 29 (page 58), or each
subsequent WRITE can be performed to a different bank.
