For the first word transfer for 16-bit Synchronous single-word register write 
accesses, nDATA_RDY will assert low when the Total-AceXtreme internally 
latches the data transferred over CPU_DATA(15:0) and de-asserts high on the 
HOST_CLK rising edge after nSELECT is sampled high. For the second word 
transfer, nDATA_RDY asserts low for a single host clock cycle when the Total-
AceXtreme® internally latches the data transferred over CPU_DATA(15:0). 
For Synchronous burst memory read transfers, nDATA_RDY is initially asserted 
low on the same host clock cycle that the Total-AceXtreme drives the first data 
word on to CPU_DATA(31:0) or CPU_DATA(15:0). For the case of Synchronous 
burst memory write transfers, nDATA_RDY is initially asserted low on the same 
host clock cycle that the Total-AceXtreme latches data driven by the host over 
CPU_DATA(31:0), CPU_DATA(31:16), or CPU_DATA(15:0). In either case, 
nDATA_RDY will continue to assert low through the end of the host clock cycle 
for the last word read by the host for a read burst transfer, or latched by the 
Total-AceXtreme for a write burst transfer. That is, nDATA_RDY will assert low 
until one host clock cycle after the host CPU has asserted CPU_nLAST low. 
•  nINT: 
This is the interrupt request output for the Total-AceXtreme’s parallel CPU 
interface. The operation of nINT is software-programmable for active high or 
active low, two-state or open drain, and level or pulse. For the case of a pulse 
interrupt, the pulse width is also programmable. The nINT pulse width may be 
programmed for a value between 3 and 65,537 clock cycles. The clock used for 
formulating the nINT pulse width will be the Total-AceXtreme’s internal 160 MHz 
clock for the Asynchronous CPU interface mode, and the HOST_CLK input for 
the Synchronous CPU interface mode. 
•  CPU_nSTOP: 
In Synchronous mode, this active low signal is used to indicate the occurrence of 
a “FIFO–full” condition, thereby terminating the current transfer. This condition 
will only occur following the occurrence of a “full” condition for the Total-
AceXtreme’s command (input) FIFO. For more information on this operation, 
refer to paragraph 6.4.2 and Figure 47.  
CPU_nSTOP will also be asserted low along with nDATA_RDY at the completion 
of a single-word Synchronous register (but not memory) read transfer. In either 
case, CPU_nSTOP will remain low until nSELECT is de-asserted high. For all 
other correctly completed Synchronous transfers, CPU_nSTOP will remain high. 
In Asynchronous mode, CPU_nSTOP is not used and will remain high.
