S1D13705 Interfacing to an 8-bit Processor
X27A-G-015-01 Issue Date: 01/12/20
3.2 Generic #2 Interface Mode
Generic #2 Host Bus Interface is a general, non-processor specific interface mode on the
S1D13705 that is ideally suited to interface to an 8-bit processor bus.
The interface requires the following signals:
• BUSCLK is a clock input which synchronizes transfers between the host CPU and the
S1D13705. It is separate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven by the host
CPU system clock. If the host CPU bus does not provide this clock, an asynchronous
clock can be provided.
• The address inputs AB0 through AB16, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect
directly to the CPU address and data bus, resp ectively.
Note
In an 8-bit environment D[7:0] must also be connected to DB[15:8] respectively ( i.e. D7
connects to both DB15 and DB7, D6 connects to both DB14 and DB6, D5 connects to
both DB13 and DB5, etc.). See Figure 4-1: “Typical Implementation of an 8-bit Proces-
sor to the S1D13705 Generic #2 Interface” .
• Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper
memory address space.
• BHE# (WE1#) is the high byte enable for both read and write cycles.
Note
In an 8-bit environment, this signal is driven by inverting address line A0 thus indicating
that odd addresses are to be R/W on the high byte of the data bus.
• WE0# is the enable signal for a write access, to be driven low when the host CPU is
writing the 1375 memory or registers.
• RD# is the read enable for the S1D13705, to be driven low when the host CPU is
reading data from the S1D13705.
• WAIT# is a signal which is output from the S1D13705 to the host CPU that indicat es
when 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 1375 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#) and Read/Write (RD/W R #) signals are not used in the bus inter-
face for Generic #2 mode. However, BS# is used to configure the S1D13705 for
Generic #2 mode and should be tied high (connected to IO VDD). RD/WR# should also
be tied high.
