Latency Timer (High)

 

 

 

In PCI mode (HM = $1), specify the value of the latency timer for this

 

 

 

PCI bus master in units of PCI bus clock cycles. In the Universal Bus

 

 

 

modes (HM = $2,$3) with HIRH cleared, LT[7–0] specify the duration of

 

 

 

the HIRQ pulse in units of DSP56300 core clock cycles. The following

 

 

 

equation gives the duration of the HIRQ pulse:

 

 

 

HIRQ_PULSE_WIDTH = (LT[7–0]_Value + 1) •

 

 

 

DSP56300_Core_clock_cycle

 

 

 

The DSP56300 core can write to these bits in Self-Configuration mode

 

 

 

(see Example 6-4 on page 6-17). The personal hardware reset clears

 

 

 

LT[7–0].

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note:

 

 

 

 

When the

HIRQ

pin is used in pulse mode (HIRH = 0 in

 

 

 

 

DCTR), the LT[7–0] value (in CLAT) should not be zero.

 

 

 

 

7–0

CLS[7–0]

0

Cache Line Size

 

 

 

Read/write bits that specify the system cache line size in units of 32-bit

 

 

 

words. These bits compose the Cache Line Size Configuration Register

 

 

 

(CCLS).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note:

When some PCI commands are used (for example, the

 

 

 

 

Memory Write and Invalidate commands), a minimum transfer

 

 

 

 

of one complete cache line should be guaranteed. This should

 

 

 

 

be reflected by the Burst Length value used (BL[5–0]) in the

 

 

 

 

DMPC. The cache line size is set by the PCI configurator in

 

 

 

 

the Cache Line Size Configuration Register (CCLS), but the

 

 

 

 

DSP56300 core cannot read this value. The system should

 

 

 

 

provide the CCLS value to the DSP56300 core in another

 

 

 

 

user-defined way.
