Functional Overview
Figure 2-19 shows a burst read with the smc_wait_0 output of the memory used to delay the transfer.
Note
•Synchronous memories have a configuration register enabling smc_wait_0 to be asserted either on the same clock cycle as the delayed data or a cycle earlier. The SMC only supports smc_wait_0 being asserted one cycle early, enabling smc_wait_0 to be initially sampled with the fed back clock and then with smc_mclk0 before being used by the FSM. This enables the easiest timing closure. Additionally, you must configure the memory for smc_wait_0 to be active LOW.
•In synchronous operation, the SMC relies on the smc_wait_0 signal being deasserted HIGH to indicate that the memory can finish the transfer. When in synchronous mode some memories do not deassert the smc_wait_0 signal during non-array read transfers. Non-array read transfers are typically status register reads. To avoid stalling the system with these memories, in synchronous mode you must not perform non-array read transfers with the memory and SMC.
