3.2 Generic #1 Interface Mode

Generic #1 interface mode is the most general and least processor-specific interface mode on the S1D13705. The Generic # 1 interface mode was chosen for this interface due to the simplicity of its timing.

The interface requires the following signals:

•BUSCLK is a clock input which is required by the S1D13705 host interface. It is sepa- rate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven by the host CPU system clock.

•The address inputs AB0 through AB16, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect directly to the CPU address and data bus, respectively. On 32-bit big endian architec- tures such as the Power PC, the data bus would connect to the high-order data lines; on little endian hosts, or 16-bit big endian hosts, they would connect to the low-order data lines. The hardware engineer must ensure that CNF3 selects the proper endian mode upon reset.

•Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper register and memory address space.

•WE0# and WE1# are write enables for the low-order and high-order bytes, respectively, to be driven low when the host CPU is writing data to the S1D13705.

•RD# and RD/WR# are read enables for the low-order and high-order bytes, respectively, to be driven low when the host CPU is reading data from the S1D13705.

•WAIT# is a signal output from the S1D13705 that indicates the host CPU must wait until data is ready (read cycle) or accepted (write cycle) on the host bus. Since host CPU accesses to the S1D13705 may occur asynchronously to the display update, it is possible that contention may occur in accessing the S1D13705 internal registers and/or refresh memory. The WAIT# line resolves these contentions by forcing the host to wait until the resource arbitration is complete. This signal is active low and may need to be inverted if the host CPU wait state signal is active high.

•The Bus Status (BS#) signal is not used in the bus interface for Generic #1 mode. However, BS# is used to configure the S1D13705 for Generic #1 mode and should be tied low (connected to GND).
