13.9.2 Explanation of AC Symbols

Each symbol consists of two pairs of letters prefixed by “T” (for time). The characters in a pair indicate a signal and its condition, respectively. Symbols represent the time between the two sig- nal/condition points. For example, TLLRL is the time between signal L (ALE) condition L (Low) and signal R (RD#) condition L (Low). Table 13-15 defines the signal and condition codes.

The External Memory System Must Meet These Specifications

 

 

TAVDV

Address Valid to Input Data Valid

 

Maximum time the memory device has to output valid data after the device outputs a valid

 

address.

 

 

TCHDV

CLKOUT High to Input Data Valid

 

Maximum time the memory system has to output valid data after CLKOUT rises.

 

 

TCLDV

CLKOUT Low to Input Data Valid

 

Maximum time the memory system has to output valid data after CLKOUT falls.

 

 

TQVWH

Data Valid to WR# High

 

Time between data being valid on the bus and WR# going inactive.

 

 

TRHDZ

RD# High to Input Data Float

 

Time after RD# is inactive until the memory system must float the bus. If this timing is not met,

 

bus contention will occur.

 

 

TRLDV

RD# Low to Input Data Valid

 

Maximum time the memory system has to output valid data after the device asserts RD#.

 

 

TSLDV

CSx# Valid to Input Data Valid

 

Maximum time the memory device has to output valid data after the device outputs a valid chip-

 

select output.
