A3.2 Input synchronization
The Cortex‑A35 processor synchronizes certain input signals. The SoC can present these inputs
asynchronously. All other external signals must be synchronous with reference to CLKIN.
Input signals that the Cortex‑A35 processor synchronizes:
• nCORERESET.
• nCPUPORESET.
• nFIQ.
• nIRQ.
• nL2RESET.
• nMBISTRESET.
• nPRESETDBG.
• nREI.
• nSEI.
• nVFIQ.
• nVIRQ.
• nVSEI.
• CLREXMONREQ.
• CPUQREQn.
• CTICHOUTACK.
• CTIIRQACK.
• DBGEN.
• EDBGRQ.
• EVENTI.
• L2FLUSHREQ.
• L2QREQn.
• NEONQREQn.
• NIDEN.
• SPIDEN.
• SPNIDEN.
Input signals that the Cortex‑A35 processor synchronizes under certain conditions:
• CTICHIN.
The synchronized CTICHIN input signals are used only if the CISBYPASS input signal is deasserted
LOW. If the CISBYPASS signal is asserted HIGH the CTICHIN synchronizers are not used, and the
SoC must present the CTICHIN synchronously to CLKIN.
