shows the timing relationship of the SLAVE FIFO
signals during a synchronous write using IFCLK as the
synchronizing clock. The diagram illustrates a single write
followed by burst write of 3 bytes and committing all 4 bytes as
a short packet using the PKTEND pin.
■
At t = 0 the FIFO address is stable and the signal SLCS is
asserted. (SLCS may be tied low in some applications) Note
that t
SFA
has a minimum of 25 ns. This means when IFCLK is
running at 48 MHz, the FIFO address setup time is more than
one IFCLK cycle.
At t = 1, the external master/peripheral must outputs the data
value onto the data bus with a minimum set up time of t
SFD
before the rising edge of IFCLK.
At t = 2, SLWR is asserted. The SLWR must meet the setup
time of t
SWR
(time from asserting the SLWR signal to the rising
edge of IFCLK) and maintain a minimum hold time of t
WRH
(time
from the IFCLK edge to the deassertion of the SLWR signal).
If the SLCS signal is used, it must be asserted with SLWR or
before SLWR is asserted (The SLCS and SLWR signals must
both be asserted to start a valid write condition).
While the SLWR is asserted, data is written to the FIFO and on
the rising edge of the IFCLK, the FIFO pointer is incremented.
The FIFO flag is also updated after a delay of t
XFLG
from the
rising edge of the clock.
There is no specific timing requirement that should be met for
asserting PKTEND signal with regards to asserting the SLWR
signal. PKTEND can be asserted with the last data value or
thereafter. The only requirement is that the setup time t
SPE
and
the hold time t
PEH
must be met. In the scenario of
the number of data values committed includes the last value
written to the FIFO. In this example, both the data value and the
PKTEND signal are clocked on the same rising edge of IFCLK.
PKTEND can also be asserted in subsequent clock cycles. The
FIFOADDR lines should be held constant during the PKTEND
assertion.
Although there are no specific timing requirement for the
PKTEND assertion, there is a specific corner case condition that
needs attention while using the PKTEND to commit a one
byte/word packet. Additional timing requirements exists when
the FIFO is configured to operate in auto mode and it is desired
to send two packets: a full packet (full defined as the number of
bytes in the FIFO meeting the level set in AUTOINLEN register)
committed automatically followed by a short one byte or word
packet committed manually using the PKTEND pin.
In this case, the external master must ensure to assert the
PKTEND pin at least one clock cycle after the rising edge that
caused the last byte or word that needs to be clocked into the
previous auto committed packet (the packet with the number of
bytes equal to what is set in the AUTOINLEN register). Refer to
for further details on this timing.

The same sequence of events are also shown for a burst write
and are marked with the time indicators of T = 0 through 5.
Note
For the burst mode, SLWR and SLCS are left asserted for
the entire duration of writing all the required data values. In this
burst write mode, after the SLWR is asserted, the data on the
FIFO data bus is written to the FIFO on every rising edge of
IFCLK. The FIFO pointer is updated on each rising edge of
IFCLK. In
after the four bytes are written to the
FIFO, SLWR is deasserted. The short 4 byte packet can be
committed to the host by asserting the PKTEND signal.
