An equation for the chip select access time, tCSDV, can be developed as follows:

tCSDV = tcyc(Nc – 1) – ts9 – ts27

where:

tcyc = system clock period

Nc = number of clocks per access

ts9 = CLKOUT low to CSasserted = 30 ns maximum at 16.78 MHz

ts27 = data-in valid to CLKOUT low setup = 5 ns minimum at 16.78 MHz

Using these equations, the memory access times at 16.78 MHz are shown in Table 10-1. See Section 11 Electrical Characteristics for more timing information.

The values can be used to determine how many clock cycles an access will take, given the access time of the memory devices and any delays through buffers or external logic that may be needed.

10.2.3 Calculating Frequency-Adjusted Output

The general relationship between the CLKOUT and most input and output signals is shown in Figure 10-11. Most outputs transition off of a falling edge of CLKOUT, but the same principle applies to those outputs that transition off of a rising edge.

For outputs that are referenced to a clock edge, the propagation delay (td ) does not change as the frequency changes. For instance, specification 6 in the electrical characteristics, shown in Section 11 Electrical Characteristics, shows that address, function code, and size information is valid 3 to 30 ns after the rising edge of S0. This specification does not change even if the device frequency is less than 16.78 MHz.

MC68340 specifications

The Motorola MC68340 is a highly integrated microprocessor that was introduced in the early 1990s. It belongs to the 68000 family of microprocessors and is designed to cater to the demands of embedded systems, particularly in telecommunications and networking applications. This chip represents a significant evolution in microprocessor technology by combining a microprocessor core with additional peripherals on a single chip, making it an attractive solution for engineers looking to design compact and efficient systems.

One of the key features of the MC68340 is its 32-bit architecture, which allows for significant processing power and data handling capabilities. This architecture enables the processor to handle larger data sizes and perform more complex calculations compared to its 16-bit predecessors. The MC68340 operates at clock speeds typically ranging from 16 MHz to 25 MHz. Its dual instruction pipeline enhances throughput, allowing for simultaneous instruction fetches and executions, which significantly boosts performance.

A notable characteristic of the MC68340 is the inclusion of integrated peripherals, which help reduce the overall component count in a system. Key integrated components include a memory management unit (MMU), a direct memory access (DMA) controller, and various communication interfaces such as serial ports. The memory management capabilities enhance the processor's ability to manage memory resources efficiently, enabling it to support multitasking environments commonly found in modern computing.

In terms of connectivity, the MC68340 features connections for both synchronous and asynchronous serial communication, making it well-suited for networking tasks. The processor supports a range of bus standards, including address and data buses, which facilitate seamless interaction with peripheral devices.

Another important aspect of the MC68340 is its flexibility. The processor supports multiple operating modes, including multiple CPU configurations and compatibility with the Motorola 68000 family, allowing for easier integration into existing systems.

Moreover, the MC68340 boasts low power consumption compared to many of its contemporaries, making it an excellent choice for battery-operated applications, enhancing its appeal in sectors like telecommunications, industrial control, and automotive systems. Its combination of performance, integration, versatility, and efficiency has secured the MC68340 a reputable position in the annals of embedded systems technology, proving to be a valuable asset for developers and engineers alike.
