Burst Stop Command
Once a Burst Read or Write operation has been initiated, there exist several methods in which to terminate
the Burst operation prematurely. These methods include using another Read or Write command to interrupt
an existing Burst operation, using a Precharge command to interrupt a Burst cycle and close the active bank,
or using the Burst Stop command to terminate the existing Burst operation but leave the bank open for future
Read or Write commands to the same page of the active bank. When interrupting a burst with another Read
or Write command care must be taken to avoid DQ contention. The Burst Stop command, however, has the
fewest restrictions making it the easiest method to use when terminating a Burst operation before it has been
completed. The Burst Stop command is defined by having RAS and CAS high with S0 and WE low at the ris-
ing edge of the clock.
When using the Burst Stop command during a Burst Read cycle, the data DQs go to a high impedance state
after a delay which is equal to the CAS Latency set in the Mode Register plus one cycle.
If a Burst Stop command is issued during a Burst Write operation, then any residual data from the Burst Write
cycle will be ignored. Data that is presented on the DQ pins up to and including the cycle when the Burst Stop
command is registered will be written to the memory.
