Dummy clock cycle Volatile Configurations bits (VCR bits from 7 to 4)
The bits from 7 to 4 of the Volatile Configuration Register, as the bits from 15 to 12 of the
Volatile Configuration register, set the dummy clock cycles number after the fast read
instructions (in all the 3 available protocols). The dummy clock cycles number can be set
from 1 up to 15 as described in Table 6.: Volatile Configuration Register, according to
operating frequency (the higher is the operating frequency, the bigger must be the dummy
clock cycle number, according to Table 5.: Maximum allowed frequency (MHz)) to optimize
the fast read instructions performance.
Note:
If the dummy clock number is not sufficient for the operating frequency, the memory reads
wrong data.
