4.4.1 READ (25 MHZ)
The Read instruction, 03H, supports up to 25 MHz
Read. The device outputs the data starting from the
specified address location. The data output stream is
continuous through all addresses until terminated by a
low to high transition on CE#. The internal address
pointer will automatically increment until the highest
memory address is reached. Once the highest memory
address is reached, the address pointer will automati-
cally increment to the beginning (wrap-around) of the
address space. Once the data from address location
1FFFFFH has been read, the next output will be from
address location 000000H.
The Read instruction is initiated by executing an 8-bit
command, 03H, followed by address bits [A
23
-A
0
]. CE#
must remain active low for the duration of the Read
cycle. See Figure 4-3 for the Read sequence.

4.4.2 HIGH-SPEED-READ (50 MHZ)
The High-Speed-Read instruction supporting up to 50
MHz Read is initiated by executing an 8-bit command,
0BH, followed by address bits [A
23
-A
0
] and a dummy
byte. CE# must remain active low for the duration of the
High-Speed-Read cycle. See Figure 4-4 for the High-
Speed-Read sequence.
Following a dummy cycle, the High-Speed-Read
instruction outputs the data starting from the specified
address location. The data output stream is continuous
through all addresses until terminated by a low to high
transition on CE#. The internal address pointer will
automatically increment until the highest memory
address is reached. Once the highest memory address
is reached, the address pointer will automatically incre-
ment to the beginning (wrap-around) of the address
space. Once the data from address location 1FFFFFH
has been read, the next output will be from address
location 000000H.
