ARM ARM DUI 0224I manual Timing diagrams

Preface

monospace	Denotes text that you can enter at the keyboard, such as
	commands, file and program names, and source code.
monospace	Denotes a permitted abbreviation for a command or option. You
	can enter the underlined text instead of the full command or option
	name.
monospace italic	Denotes arguments to monospace text where the argument is to be
	replaced by a specific value.
monospace bold	Denotes language keywords when used outside example code.
< and >	Angle brackets enclose replaceable terms for assembler syntax
	where they appear in code or code fragments. They appear in
	normal font in running text. For example:
	•	MRC p15, 0 <Rd>, <CRn>, <CRm>, <Opcode_2>
	•	The Opcode_2 value selects which register is accessed.

Timing diagrams

The figure named Key to timing diagram conventions explains the components used in timing diagrams. Variations, when they occur, have clear labels. You must not assume any timing information that is not explicit in the diagrams.

Shaded bus and signal areas are undefined, so the bus or signal can assume any value within the shaded area at that time. The actual level is unimportant and does not affect normal operation.

Clock

HIGH to LOW

Transient

HIGH/LOW to HIGH

Bus stable

Bus to high impedance

Bus change

High impedance to stable bus
