7.5.2.23 Static Memory Output Enable Delay Registers (SWAITOENx)
The Static Memory Output Enable Delay Registers enable programming the delay from the
Valid Address to nOE assertion. See Section 7.2.4.1.1 for a complete description of pro-
gramming these registers.
The total Read cycle time is the total time that the address is valid. During this time, several
parameters are programmable. In the following equations, ‘D’ represents the SWAITOENx
register, ‘E’ represents the SWAITRDx register, and ‘C’ represents the address hold time.
In general, Read wait states can be derived from the following equation:
tRC (Read cycle time) = tD1 + tD2 + ... tDn + tE0 + tE1 + ... tEn + C, where the length of
each term is one HCLK period, and ‘n’ is the value programmed in the respective register.
The minimum value for the equation is tRC = tE0 + C, and is therefore the zero wait
state timing.
Thus, Read wait states can be programmed using the appropriate mix of nOE extension
(programmed in SWAITRDx) with nOE assertion delay (programmed in SWAITOENx).
These registers must only be modified during system initialization, or when there are
no current or outstanding transactions. Software can ensure that there are no current or
outstanding transactions by waiting until the memory controller is idle, then entering
Low-Power Mode (CONTROL:MODE = 1), or Disable Mode (CONTROL:ENABLE = 0).
When in these two modes, external memory access is not allowed, ensuring that
changing parameters will not corrupt external data. Low-Power Mode automatically
refreshes SDRAM; Disable Mode requires commanding the SDRAM to Self Refresh
(DYNMCTRL:SR = 1) prior to entering Disable.
