Input AC Timing
Specifications
Table 9 provides the input AC timing specifications at recommended operating condi-
tions (see Table “Recommended Operating Conditions” on page 12) with L
V
DD
= 3.3V ±
0.3V. See Figure 13 and Figure 14.
Notes:
1. All PCI signals are measured from OV
DD
/2 of the rising edge of PCI_SYNC_IN to 0.4 x OV
DD
of the signal in question for
3.3V PCI signaling levels. See Figure 14.
2. All memory and related interface input signal specifications are measured from the TTL level (0.8 or 2.0V) of the signal in
question to the VM = 1.4V of the rising edge of the memory bus clock, SDRAM_SYNC_IN. SDRAM_SYNC_IN is the same
as PCI_SYNC_IN in 1:1 mode, but is twice the frequency in 2:1 mode (processor/memory bus clock rising edges occur on
every rising and falling edge of PCI_SYNC_IN). See Figure 13.
3. Input timings are measured at the pin.
4. T
CLK
is the time of one SDRAM_SYNC_IN clock cycle.
5. All mode select input signals specifications are measured from the TTL level (0.8 or 2.0V) of the signal in question to the VM
= 1.4V of the rising edge of the HRST_CPU/HRST_CTRL signal. See Figure 15.
6. The memory interface input setup and hold times are programmable to four possible combinations by programming bits 5:4
of register offset <0x77> to select the desired input setup and hold times.
7. Tos represents a timing adjustment for SDRAM_SYNC_IN with respect to sys_logic_clk. Due to the internal delay present
on the SDRAM_SYNC_IN signal with respect to the sys_logic_clk inputs to the DLL, the resulting SDRAM clocks become
offset by the delay amount. The feedback trace length of SDRAM_SYNC_OUT to SDRAM_SYNC_IN must be shortened by
this amount relative to the SDRAM clock output trace lengths to maintain phase-alignment of the memory clocks with
respect to sys_logic_clk.
Note that the DLL locking range graphs of Figure 9 through Figure 12 compensate for
Tos and there is no additional requirement to shorten Tloop by the duration of Tos. Refer to Motorola Applica-
tion Note AN2164, MPC8245/MPC8241 Memory Clock Design Guidelines, for more details on accommodating
for the problem of Tos and trace measurements in general.
