Abstract
Method for controlling the burst length of a data transmission. A preferred embodiment comprises initiating a fixed burst length transmission and issuing a burst terminate command specifying a desired length of the burst data transfer, wherein the burst terminate command is issued prior to the completion of the fixed burst length data transfer. The burst terminate command specifies an address of a final data to be transferred by the fixed burst length transmission.
Claims24
A method for shortening a fixed burst length data transfer, the method comprising:
- initiating a fixed burst length data transfer;
- and
- issuing a burst terminate command specifying a desired length of the burst data transfer, wherein the burst terminate command is issued prior to the completion of the fixed burst length data transfer.
A method for shortening fixed length burst transfers in a memory system, the method comprising:
- placing a burst transfer command on a command bus and a first memory address on an address bus, wherein the first memory address specifies a starting address of data to be transferred;
- and
- after a burst transfer starts, placing a burst terminate command on the command bus and a second memory address on the address bus, wherein the second memory address specifies a terminating address of data to be transferred.
