Burst Length

Read and write accesses to the SDRAM are burst oriented, with the burst length being programmable, as shown in

MODEREGISTERDEFINITION.Theburstlengthdeterminesthemaximumnumberofcolumnlocationsthatcan

be accessed for a given READ or WRITE command. Burst lengths of 1, 2, 4 or 8 locations are available for both the

sequential and the interleaved burst types, and a full-page burst is available for the sequential type. The full-page burst

is used in conjunction with the BURST TERMINATE command to generate arbitrary burst lengths. Reserved states

should not be used, as unknown operation or incompatibility with future versions may result.

When a READ or WRITE command is issued, a block of columns equal to the burst length is effectively selected. All

accesses for that burst take place within this block, meaning that the burst will wrap within the block if a boundary is

reached. The block is uniquely selected by A1-A8 (x32) when the burst length is set to two; by A2-A8 (x32) when the

burst length is set to four; and by A3-A8 (x32) when the burst length is set to eight. The remaining (least significant)

address bit(s) are used to select the starting location within the block. Full-page bursts wrap within the page if the

boundary is reached.
