[comp.dsp] DSP56001 timing

gson@blob.hut.fi (Andreas Gustafsson) (01/24/91)

I am having trouble locating a few crucial pieces of information
concerning the memory bus timing of the Motorola DSP56001.

Firstly, I need to know the delays from the edge of EXTAL to changes
in the various memory bus output signals, and the data bus setup/hold
requirements relative to EXTAL for memory read cycles.

Although the DSP56000/DSP56001 User's Manual claims on page 9-8 that
"The timing A, B, and C relative to the edges of an external clock
(...) are provided in the DSP56001 Advance Information Data Sheet
(ADI1290)", I have been unable to find that information in the data
sheet.  The External Bus Timing diagram gives the timing of each
memory bus signal only in relation to the other memory bus signals;
there is no reference to the clock.

It is possible to draw some conclusions about the timing of the
address, DS, PS, and X/Y signals relative to the clock by examining
the timing diagrams for "Synchronous Reset Timing" and "Synchronous
Interrupt from Wait State Timing".  For RD, WR and the data bus
there is no clock-relative timing information at all.

Secondly, I need the timing for the BS and WT signals.  The User's
Manual states on page 9-14 that "... WT timing must satisfy setup and
hold timing with respect to the negative-going edge of EXTAL.  The
setup and hold times are provided in the DSP56001 Advance Information
Data Sheet (ADI1290)", but the data sheet never mentions BS or WT.

The Motorola DSP literature list refers to a data sheet supplement
called "Memory Ready Specification", which I assume contains the
information on BS/WT timing.  However, our local Motorola distributor
has been unable to locate that document despite numerous phone calls
over the last six weeks.

Our noncommercial DSP card design project is being delayed by the
lack of this information.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
