FIG. 4 CAS LATENCY
WEDPN16M64VR-XBX
CAS Latency
The CAS latency is the delay, in clock cycles, between the
registration of a READ command and the availability of the first
piece of output data. The latency can be set to two or three clocks.
If a READ command is registered at clock edge n, and the latency
is m clocks, the data will be available by clock edge n+m. The I/
Os will start driving as a result of the clock edge one cycle earlier
(n + m - 1), and provided that the relevant access times are met,
the data will be valid by clock edge n + m. For example, assuming
that the clock cycle time is such that all relevant access times are
met, if a READ command is registered at T0 and the latency is
programmed to two clocks, the I/Os will start driving after T1 and
the data will be valid by T2. Table 2 below indicates the operating
frequencies at which each CAS latency setting can be used.
Reserved states should not be used as unknown operation or
incompatibility with future versions may result.
Operating Mode
The normal operating mode is selected by setting M7and M8 to
zero; the other combinations of values for M7 and M8 are reserved
for future use and/or test modes. The programmed burst length
applies to both READ and WRITE bursts.
Test modes and reserved states should not be used because
unknown operation or incompatibility with future versions may result.
Write Burst Mode
When M9 = 0, the burst length programmed via M0-M2 applies to both
READ and WRITE bursts; when M9 = 1, the programmed burst length
applies to READ bursts, but write accesses are single-location
(nonburst) accesses

COMMANDS
The Truth Table provides a quick reference of available commands.
This is followed by a written description of each command. Three
additional Truth Tables appear following the Operation section; these
tables provide current state/next state information.
