least one clock plus time, regardless of frequency.
In addition, when truncating a WRITE burst, the DQM
signal must be used to mask input data for the clock edge
prior to, and the clock edge coincident with, the
PRECHARGE command. An example is shown in Figure
18. Data n + 1 is either the last of a burst of two or the last
desired of a longer burst. Following the PRECHARGE
command, a subsequent command to the same bank
cannot be issued until tRP is met.
In the case of a fixed-length burst being executed to
completion, a PRECHARGE command issued at the opti-
mum time (as described above) provides the same op-
eration that would result from the same fixed-length
burst with auto precharge. The disadvantage of the
PRECHARGE command is that it requires that the com-
mand and address buses be available at the appropriate
time to issue the command; the advantage of the
PRECHARGE command is that it can be used to truncate
fixed-length or full-page bursts.
Data for any WRITE burst may be truncated with a
subsequent READ command, and data for a fixed-length
WRITE burst may be immediately followed by a READ
command. Once the READ command is registered, the
data inputs will be ignored, and WRITEs will not be
executed. An example is shown in Figure 17. Data n + 1 is
either the last of a burst of two or the last desired of a
longer burst.
Data for a fixed-length WRITE burst may be followed
by, or truncated with, a PRECHARGE command to the
same bank (provided that auto precharge was not acti-
vated), and a full-page WRITE burst may be truncated
with a PRECHARGE command to the same bank. The
PRECHARGE command should be issued tWR after the
clock edge at which the last desired input data element is
registered. The auto precharge mode requires a tWR of at
