This is shown in Figure 7 for CAS latencies of two and
three; data element n + 3 is either the last of a burst of
four or the last desired of a longer burst. The 256Mb
SDRAM uses a pipelined architecture and therefore
does not require the 2n rule associated with a prefetch
256Mb: x4, x8, x16

architecture. A READ command can be initiated on any
clock cycle following a previous READ command. Full-
speed random read accesses can be performed to the
same bank, as shown in Figure 8, or each subsequent
READ may be performed to a different bank.
