Description

 

 

 

Address or control pins

 

The HPI latches the logic levels of these pins on the

 

 

falling edge of

HAS

or internal

HSTRB

(for details

 

 

about internal

HSTRB,

see Section 3.3). The four

 

 

binary states of these pins determine the access type

 

 

of the current transfer (HPIC, HPID with

 

 

autoincrementing, HPIA, or HPID without

 

 

autoincrementing).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

R/W strobe pin

 

HPI read/write. On the falling edge of

 

 

or internal

 

HAS

 

 

 

 

 

 

indicates whether the current access is

 

 

HSTRB,

HR/W

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

high

 

 

to be a read or write operation. Driving HR/W

 

 

indicates the transfer is a read from the HPI, while

 

 

 

 

 

low indicates a write to the HPI.

 

 

driving HR/W

Address or control pins

 

Halfword identification control input. This bit identifies

 

 

the first and second halfwords of a dual halfword cycle

 

 

operation. HHWIL=0 identifies the first cycle and

 

 

HHWIL=1 identifies the second cycle. HHWIL applies

 

 

only to HPI16 mode and not to HPI32 mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ALE (address latch enable) or

 

Address strobe. A host with a multiplexed address/data

address strobe pin

 

bus can have

HAS

 

connected to its ALE pin. The

 

 

falling edge of

HAS

 

latches the logic levels of the

 

 

 

 

HCNTL1, and HCNTL0 pins, which are typically

 

 

HR/W,

 

 

connected to host address lines. When used, the

HAS

 

 

 

signal must precede the falling edge of the internal

 

 

HSTRB

signal.

Data bus

 

The HPI data bus carries the data to/from the HPI.

 

 

HD[31:0] applies to HPI32 and HD[15:0] applies to

 

 

HPI16.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Asynchronous ready pin

 

When the HPI drives

 

 

low, the host has

HRDY

 

 

permission to complete the current host cycle. When

 

 

the HPI drives

HRDY

 

high, the HPI is not ready for the

 

 

current host cycle to complete.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interrupt pin

 

The DSP can interrupt the host processor by writing a

 

 

1 to the HINT bit of HPIC. Before subsequent HINT

 

 

interrupts can occur, the host must clear previous

 

 

interrupts by writing a 1 to the HINT bit. This pin is

 

 

active-low and inverted from the HINT bit value in

 

 

HPIC.
