This field specifies the number of clock cycles from the assertion of the Read command to the first read data.
The minimum whole value of CAS# Latency depends on the frequency of CLK. The minimum whole value
satisfying the following formula must be programmed into this field.

No-Operation command
(RAS# = "H", CAS# = "H", WE# = "H")
The No-Operation command is used to perform a NOP to the SDRAM which is selected (CS# is Low).
This prevents unwanted commands from being registered during idle or wait states.
10 Burst Stop command
(RAS# = "H", CAS# = "H", WE# = "L")
The Burst Stop command is used to terminate either fixed-length or full-page bursts. This command is
only effective in a read/write burst without the auto precharge function. The terminated read burst ends after a
delay equal to the CAS# latency (refer to the following figure). The termination of a write burst is shown in the
following figure.
