Accessing the Address Table

To write to a specific entry in the address table, you must first write the least significant 32- bits of the address into the Address Table Configuration (Word 0) register. You then write the most significant 16 bits together with the location in the table (bits 17–16) to the Address Table Configuration (Word1) register with bit 23 (read not write) set to ‘0.’ This is shown in Figure 8-3. Although it is shown in the figure, there is no requirement for the two writes to be on adjacent cycles.

Figure 8-3:Address Table Write Timing

As shown in Figure 8-4, you must write to the Address Table Configuration register (Word

1)with the location set to the desired table entry and bit 23 set to ‘1’ to read from the address table. On the next cycle the least significant word appears on the hostrddata bus. One cycle afterwards, the most significant 16-bits are output on the lower 16 bits of the bus.
