READ OPERATIONS

Read from Memory Array

To read from memory, the host sends a READ instruction

followed by a 16−bit address (see Table 11 for the number

of significant address bits).

After receiving the last address bit, the CAV25080/160

will respond by shifting out data on the SO pin (as shown in

Figure 9). Sequentially stored data can be read out by simply

continuing to run the clock. The internal address pointer is

automatically incremented to the next higher address as data

is shifted out. After reaching the highest memory address,

the address counter “rolls over” to the lowest memory

address, and the read cycle can be continued indefinitely.

The read operation is terminated by taking CS high.

Read Status Register

To read the status register, the host simply sends a RDSR

command. After receiving the last bit of the command, the

CAV25080/160 will shift out the contents of the status

register on the SO pin (Figure 10). The status register may

be read at any time, including during an internal write cycle.

While the internal write cycle is in progress, the RDSR

command will output the full content of the status register.

For easy detection of the internal write cycle completion,

both during writing to the memory array and to the status

register, we recommend sampling the RDY bit only through

the polling routine. After detecting the RDY bit “0”, the next

RDSR instruction will always output the expected content

of the status register.
