nDATA_STRB must be asserted for exactly one host clock cycle for single-word 
accesses, and to initiate sequential Synchronous burst transfers. For random 
Synchronous burst write transfers, nDATA_STRB must be asserted low through 
the entire time of the transfer. 
•  RD_nWR: 
This signal selects between read and write transfers. In 32-bit mode with 
POL_SEL = ‘1’, RD_nWR = ‘0’ to read and ‘1’ to write. For all other parallel CPU 
interface configurations, RD_nWR = ‘1’ to read and ‘0’ to write. 
•  ADDR_LAT: 
In the Multiplexed mode for the address and data buses (ADMULTI = ‘1’), the 
Total-AceXtreme® will latch the host address from CPU_DATA(15:0), along with 
MEM_nREG, and (in 16-bit mode only) MSW_nLSW during a positive pulse on 
the ADDR_LAT  input. For Asynchronous mode, ADDR_LAT must be at least 40 
ns wide. For Synchronous mode, ADDR_LAT must meet the setup and hold 
times relative to HOST_CLK. In 16-bit multiplexed mode, ADDR_LAT must pulse 
high to latch in the address, MEM_nREG, and MSW_nLSW for both the first and 
second 16-bit word transfers. In the non-Multiplexed mode for the address and 
data buses (ADMULTI = ‘0’), ADDR_LAT must be connected to logic ‘1’.  
•  CPU_nLAST:  
This input signal is used for Synchronous mode only. For single-word 
Synchronous transfers, CPU_nLAST must be asserted low through the full 
transfer cycle. For Synchronous burst transfers, CPU_nLAST must be asserted 
high until the last 32-bit or 16-bit word is written or read over the CPU data bus. 
During this last word transfer, CPU_nLAST must be asserted low. CPU_nLAST 
is not used in the Asynchronous CPU mode and may be left unconnected. 
•  MSW_nLSW: 
For 16-bit mode, MSW_nLSW is the LSB of the CPU address bus and is used to 
select between the upper (bits 31:16) and lower (bits 15:0) 16-bit words. The 
polarity of MSW_nLSW is determined by the value of the POL_SEL static input. 
In the multiplexed address/data modes, the value of MSW_nLSW is latched 
when the ADDR_LAT input is asserted high. In 32-bit mode, MSW_nLSW is not 
used and be left unconnected. 
•  CPU_WORD_EN(1:0): 
These two signals should be active throughout the entire transfer cycle, and 
operate as follows:
