Operations
not, the second WRITE will be an invalid WRITE. For example, if DQM was LOW during
T4 (as in Figure 15 on page 28) then the WRITEs at T5 and T7 would be valid, while the
WRITE at T6 would be invalid.
The DQM signal must be de-asserted prior to the WRITE command (DQM latency is
zero clocks for input buffers) to ensure that the written data is not masked. Figure 12 on
page 25 shows the case where the clock frequency allows for bus contention to be
avoided without adding a NOP cycle, and Figure 13 on page 26 shows the case where the
additional NOP is needed.
A fixed-length READ burst may be followed by, or truncated with, a PRECHARGE
command to the same bank (provided that auto precharge was not activated). The
PRECHARGE command should be issued x cycles before the clock edge at which the last
desired data element is valid, where x = CL - 1. This is shown in Figure 16 on page 28 for
each possible CL; data element n + 3 is either the last of a burst of four 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. Note that part of the row precharge time is
hidden during the access of the last data element(s).
In the case of a fixed-length burst being executed to completion, a PRECHARGE
command issued at the optimum time (as described above) provides the same operation
that would result from the same fixed-length burst with auto precharge. The disadvan-
tage of the PRECHARGE command is that it requires that the command 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 page bursts.

Note:
CL = 3. The READ command may be to any bank, and the WRITE command may be to any
bank. If a burst of one is used, then DQM is not required.
