Figure 13 shows an asynchronous write access and describes how the EMIF and ASRAM AC timing requirements work together to define values for W_SETUP, W_STROBE, and W_HOLD.
From Figure 13, the following equations may be derived. tcyc is the period at which the EMIF operates. The W_SETUP, W_STROBE, and W_HOLD fields are programmed in terms of EMIF cycles where as the data sheet specifications are typically given is nano seconds. This is explains the presence of tcyc in the denominator of the following equations. A minus 1 is included in the equations because each field in ACFGn is programmed in terms of EMIF clock cycles, minus 1 cycle. For example, W_SETUP is equal to W_SETUP width in EMIF clock cycles minus 1 cycle.
