NOTES:

1.See Section 4.8, “AC Timing Waveforms” on page 46 for waveforms and definitions.

2.See Figure 25, “Output Delay or Hold vs. Load Capacitance” on page 52 for capacitive derating information for output delays and hold times.

3.See Figure 22, “Rise and Fall Time Derating at 85 ° C and Minimum VCC” on page 51 for capacitive derating information for rise and fall times.

4.Where N is the number of NRAD, NRDD, NWAD or NWDD wait states that are programmed in the Bus Controller Region Table. WAIT never goes active when there are no wait states in an access.

5.N = Number of wait states inserted with READY.

6.These specifications are ensured by the processor.

7.These specifications must be met by the system for proper operation of the processor.

8.RESET is an asynchronous input that has no required setup and hold time for proper operation. However, to ensure the device exits the reset mode synchronized to a particular clock edge, the rising edge of RESET must meet setup and hold times to the rising edge of the CLKIN.

9.The interrupt pins are synchronized internally by the 80960Hx. They have no required setup or hold times for proper operation. These pins are sampled by the interrupt controller every clock and must be active for at least two consecutive CLKIN rising edges when asserting them asynchronously. To ensure recognition at a particular clock edge, the setup and hold times shown must be met.

10.Relative Output timings are not tested.

11. Not tested.

12.The processor minimizes changes to the bus signals when transitioning from a bus cycle to an idle bus for the following signals: A31:4, SUP, CT3:0, D/C, LOCK, W/R, BE3:0.
