Topics • ADuC7026 External Memory Interface • Implementation • Demultipexing • Bus Timing • Bus cycle timing modification • Wait states and more • Assessing timing compatibility
Basic System Bus Operation • Address • Unidirectional from CPU • Data • Bidirectional • Control • /RS or /RD – output from CPU • Indicates a read operation in progress • /WS or /WR – output from CPU • Indicates a write operation in progress • /WAIT or /READY – input to CPU • Used by external device to signal that it is not able to complete transfer yet (not present on ADuC7026)
ADuC7026 Bus Operation • The ADuC7026 external memory interface consists of • 16-bit multiplexed address/data bus (AD15:0) • High address bit for 8-bit operation (A16) • 128kB regions require 17 bits of address • Read and write strobes (/RS, /WS) • Memory select signals (/MS3:0) • Internal decodes of upper 15 bits of address • Byte enables (/BHE, /BLE) • Used when memory interface is operating at 16-bit width • Demultiplexing control signal (AE) • Used to control logic that holds address valid to memory system • There is no WAIT/READY signal
ADuC7026 Demultiplexing • Multiplexed Signal Timing • Read Cycle • Dealing with a multiplexed bus • Demultiplexing by the device • Demultiplexing logic to create an address bus • Implementation • Devices • Connections • AE timing
SRAM Timing Compatibility • In order to properly read and write the device, we need to ensure that the processor-to-memory interface is compatible with the memory device. • This is accomplished by analyzing the timing for all relevant parameters, and ensuring that the operation can be completed successfully. • We will work through the read cycle analysis for the ADuC7026...
Assessing Timing Compatibility • Need to know whether CPU could operate with the tAA for given device. • We designate a CPU characteristic tAVDV, which is the delay from • When the address becomes valid at the CPU • Until the data must be driven back to CPU • This establishes an upper bound on tAA • tAA < tAVDV • Read cycle parameters • Read cycle timing control
System Timing Compatibility • Need to account for all delays in a system to assess timing compatibility. • Consider this system. • Analyze the read timing with regard to: • tAA – address access time • tACS – chip enable to valid data • tOE – output enable to valid data • tDF – output hold/float time
ADuC7026 External Memory Interface Configuration • The external memory interface supports four independently configured memory regions, each of which is 128kB in size. • In order to use the external memory interface, we need to • Configure the required pins (GPxCON) • Enable the external interface (XMCFG[0] = 1) • Region enable and bus width (XMxCON) • Configure region for the desired bus timing (XMxPAR)
ADuC7026 XMxCON • The XMxCON registers configure the bus width and enable the interface for the respective memory region. Only D[1:0] are used. • XM0CON 0x10000000-0x1001FFFF • XM1CON 0x20000000-0x2001FFFF • XM2CON 0x30000000-0x3001FFFF • XM3CON 0x40000000-0x4001FFFF
Write cycle timing control Read cycle timing control ADuC7026 XMxPAR • The XMxPAR MMR configures the bus timing for a region • 0x70FF at reset • [14:12] – AE extend • [9] – implements bus turn-around • [8] – provides additional hold time • [7:4],[3:0] – extend write/read strobes
System Timing Compatibility • Consider again the system. • Analyzing write cycle timing. • SRAM write characteristics • tWC • tAS, tAW, tCW • tWR • tWDS, tWDH • Write cycle controls
Timing Wrap-Up • Device characteristics are just part of the total timing analysis picture • Line/device capacitive loading and driver slew rates • Transmission line effects and parasitic reactance • Impedance mismatch and reflections • Skew and physical/electrical trace length mismatch • Signal integrity • Ensuring that signals are correct in spite of all of the above issues and mutual coupling effects
Wrapping Up • Have a great Spring Break! • Complete Pre-Quiz #5 by the start of class on Monday, April 9th • Homework #5 will be due on Wednesday, April 11th • Reading for next week (interrupts and exceptions) • Textbook chapter 10 • ADuC 74-75 • ARM7 2.8-2.10
