To ensure data setup time, simply program the strobe width wide enough. AARDY is internally synchronized. The AARDY signal is
only
recognized two cycles before the end of the programmed strobe time and while AARDY is low, the strobe time is extended cycle-by-cycle. When
AARDY is recognized low, the end of the strobe time is two cycles after AARDY is recognized high. To use AARDY as an asynchronous input,
the pulse width of the AARDY signal should be wide enough (e.g., pulse width = 2E) to ensure setup and hold time is met.
RS = Read setup, RST = Read strobe, RH = Read hold, WS = Write setup, WST = Write strobe, WH = Write hold. These parameters are
programmed via the EMIF CE space control registers.
