7.13. Quad I/O Fast Read (EBH)
http://www.elm-tech.com
The Quad I/O Fast Read command is similar to the Dual I/O Fast Read command but with the capability
to input the 3-byte address (A23-0) or a 4-byte address (A31-A0) and a “Continuous Read Mode” byte and
4-dummy clock 4-bit per clock by IO0, IO1, IO3, IO4, each bit being latched in during the rising edge of SCLK,
then the memory contents are shifted out 4-bit per clock cycle from IO0, IO1, IO2, IO3. The command sequence
is shown in followed Figure14. The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically
incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. The Quad Enable bit (QE) of Status
Register (S9) must be set to enable for the Quad I/O Fast read command.
Quad I/O Fast Read with “Continuous Read Mode”
The Quad I/O Fast Read command can further reduce command overhead through setting the “Continuous
Read Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input 3-byte address (A23-A0) or a 4-byte address (A31-A0). If the “Continuous
Read Mode” bits (M5-4) = (1, 0), then the next Quad I/O Fast Read command (after CS# is raised and then
lowered) does not require the EBH command code. The command sequence is shown in followed Figure14a.
If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M5-4) do not equal to (1, 0), the next command requires the first EBH
command code, thus returning to normal operation. A “Continuous Read Mode” Reset command can be used to
reset (M5-4) before issuing normal command.
