Transfer Modes
The following Transfer Modes are available:
1. Full Read Transfer (Normal) Mode.
2. Split Read Transfer (Normal) Mode.
3. Full Read Transfer (SRS) Mode.
4. Split Read Transfer (SRS) Mode.
5. Full Write Transfer (Normal) Mode.
6. Split Write Transfer (Normal) Mode.
7. Full Write Transfer (SRS) Mode.
8. Split Write Transfer (SRS) Mode.
Full Register Read Transfer (Normal) Mode
The Full Register Read Transfer operation is illustrated in the timing diagram on page 41. This operation will
load the entire SAM (256 x16 bits) from the selected segment of the row. CA
8
controls which half of the
selected row needs to be transferred. If CA
8
at CE fall time is “0”, the lower half of the selected row is trans-
ferred. If CA
8
at CE fall time is “1”, the upper half of the selected row is transferred. CA

-CA
0
address sup-
plied by the user at CE fall time is used to provide the starting address for reading of data from the Serial port.
The SAM has 256 locations to be addressed starting from 0 to 255. During the Full Read Transfer cycle the
Start Address Register as well as the Serial port counter will be loaded, with the user supplied address CA

CA

. CA

equals “0” is associated with the lower half of the SAM and CA
7
equals “1” is associated with the
upper half of the SAM. A Full Register Read Transfer from the selected row to SAM is shown in the timing
diagram on page 51. The example shows a transfer based on user supplied CA
8
equals “1”. The Serial port
counter is set to the address CA

-CA
0
specified by the user at CE fall time during the Full Read Transfer
cycle. The next SC cycle following the transfer will start reading data from this point in the SAM. Reading will
continue until the end of the SAM location 256 and will wrap around. To keep Serial data out continuous,
either a Split Read Transfer or a Full Read Transfer must be executed as the SAM runs out of new data. See
the timing diagrams for the necessary timing requirements for either method of loading the SAM
