A-6 Interface And Connectors Rev. B

Note:

A signal name prefixed by "n" indicates an "L" active signal.

Bidirectional communications cannot take place unless all signal names for both sides correspond to each

other.

Connect all signal lines using twisted pair cables. Connect the return side to the signal ground level.

Make sure that the signals satisfy electrical characteristics.

Set the leading edge and trailing edge times to 0.5 µs or less.

Do not ignore nAck or BUSY signals during a data transfer. Ignoring such signals may result in data

corruption.

Make the interface cables as short as possible.
