1.9.1. Read Bytes Operation (03h)

When you execute the read bytes operation, you first drive the nCS pin low and shift in the read bytes operation code, followed by a 3-byte address (A[23..0]). Each address bit must be latched in at rising edges of the DCLK signal. After the address is latched in, the memory contents of the specified address are shifted out serially on the DATA1 pin, beginning with the MSB. For reading Raw Programming Data File (.rpd), the content is shifted out serially beginning with the LSB. Each data bit is shifted out at falling edges of the DCLK signal. The maximum DCLK frequency during the read bytes operation is 50 MHz.

The first byte address can be at any location. The device automatically increases the address to the next higher address after shifting out each byte of data. Therefore, the device can read the whole memory with a single read bytes operation. When the device reaches the highest address, the address counter restarts at 0x000000, allowing the memory contents to be read out indefinitely until the read bytes operation is terminated by driving the nCS signal high. If the read bytes operation is shifted in while a write or erase cycle is in progress, the operation is not executed and does not affect the write or erase cycle in progress.
