The operation of the nDATA_RDY signal for single-word Synchronous memory 
and register accesses is summarized in Table 4 and described in the paragraphs 
that follow. 
Table 4.  Summary of the Operation of the nDATA_RDY Output Signal for 
Synchronous Single-Word Memory and Register Accesses 
Transfer Type 
Operation of nDATA_RDY 
for Memory Access 
Operation of nDATA_RDY 
for Register Access 
32-bit Read 
Asserts low until host clock 
following nSELECT going high 
Asserts low for single clock cycle 
32-bit Write  Asserts low for single clock cycle  Asserts low for single clock cycle 
16-bit Read: First Word 
Asserts low until host clock 
following nSELECT going high 
Asserts low for single clock cycle 
16-bit Read: Second Word 
Asserts low until host clock 
following nSELECT going high 
Asserts low for single clock cycle 
16-bit Write: First Word  Asserts low for single clock cycle 
Asserts low until host clock 
following nSELECT going high. 
16-bit Write: Second Word  Asserts low for single clock cycle  Asserts low for single clock cycle 
For 32-bit Synchronous single-word memory read accesses, nDATA_RDY 
asserts low when the Total-AceXtreme® drives valid data to be read on 
CPU_DATA(31:0), and de-asserts high on the HOST_CLK rising edge after 
nSELECT is sampled high.  
For Synchronous 32-bit single-word memory or register write accesses, 
nDATA_RDY asserts low for a single host clock cycle when the data from 
CPU_DATA(31:0) has been internally latched. 
For Synchronous single-word register read accesses, nDATA_RDY asserts low 
for a single host clock cycle beginning when the Total-AceXtreme® drives valid 
data to be read on CPU_DATA(31:0) for a 32-bit transfer, or CPU_DATA(15:0) 
for each of the two 16-bit transfers. 
For each of the two transfers for 16-bit Synchronous single-word memory read 
accesses, nDATA_RDY asserts low starting when the Total-AceXtreme® drives 
valid data to be read on CPU_DATA(15:0) and de-asserts high on the 
HOST_CLK rising edge after nSELECT is sampled high. 
For each of the two transfers for 16-bit Synchronous single-word memory write 
accesses, nDATA_RDY asserts low for a single host clock cycle when the Total-
AceXtreme® internally latches the data transferred over CPU_DATA(15:0).
