PIO Burst Reads
In this mode, performance is improved by allowing up to 16 WORD read cycles back-to-back. PIO
Burst Reads can be performed using Chip Select (nCS) or Read Enable (nRD). Either or both of these
control signals must go high between bursts for the period specified.

Note: A PIO Burst Read cycle begins when both nCS and nRD are asserted. The cycle ends when
either or both nCS and nRD are deasserted. They may be asserted and deasserted in any
order.
