7.14. Quad I/O Word Fast Read (E7H)
http://www.elm-tech.com
The Quad I/O Word Fast Read command is similar to the Quad I/O Fast Read command except that the lowest
address bit (A0) must equal 0 and only 2-dummy clock. The command sequence is shown in followed Figure15.
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 Word Fast read command.
Quad I/O Word Fast Read with “Continuous Read Mode”
The Quad I/O Word 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 Word Fast Read command (after CS# is raised and
then lowered) does not require the E7H command code. The command sequence is shown in followed Figure15.
If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M5-4) do not equal to (1, 0), the next command requires the first E7H
command code, thus returning to normal operation. A “Continuous Read Mode” Reset command can be used to
reset (M5-4) before issuing normal command.
