64Mbit – Enhanced SDRAM
8Mx8, 4Mx16 ESDRAM
Preliminary Datasheet
Burst Length and Burst Type
Bursting provides a constant flow of data to memory locations (writes), or from memory locations (reads). Burst length
and burst type are programmable through address bits A0-A3 during a Mode Register Set command.
Burst length defines the number of bits transferred after a Read or Write command. This value is programmable to one,
two, four, eight, or full page (actual page length is dependent on device organization: x8 or x16). Full page bursting is
only available with sequential type bursts. A burst does not automatically terminate in full page mode, but continues even
after the page length is satisfied.
Burst type defines the order in which the data is transferred. Both sequential and interleaved bursting is supported. For
details see the table below.

Full Page (Note)
Note: Page length is a function of I/O organization and column addressing.
x8 organization (CA0-CA8); Page Length = 512 column addresses
x16 organization (CA0-CA7); Page Length = 256 column addresses
