Abstract
Methods and apparatus for accessing flash memory in a continued burst mode are provided. The apparatus includes a processor for executing instructions including memory access instructions, the processor generating a next access signal that indicates if a next memory access is in sequence with a current memory access, a memory having a continued burst mode of operation, and a bus interface for controlling access to the memory in response to the memory access instructions. The bus interface unit enables the continued burst mode of the memory while the next access signal is asserted.
