To determine the required EMIF configuration to interface to the NAND Flash for a write operation, Table 27 lists the NAND AC timing parameters for a command latch, address latch, and data input latch that must be considered.

Figure 17 to Figure 19 show the command latch, address latch, and data input latch of the NAND access.

From Figure 17 to Figure 19, 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.
