Table 5b: Enhanced Mode Device Select Response
NOTES:
1. Exceptions are:
A) A write to the Device Select register is always active in all devices.
B) A write to the Page Address register is active in the device with /FI LOW and /FF HIGH.
C) The Set Full Flag (SFF) instruction is active in the device with /FI LOW and /FF HIGH.
2. If /MF is disabled in the Control register, /MA (Internal) is forced HIGH preventing a Case 6 response.
3. This is NO for a MOV instruction involving Memory at Next Free address if /FI is HIGH or the device is full.
4. This is NO if the Persistent Destination is Memory at Next Free address and /FI is HIGH or the device is full.
5. For a Command Read following a TCO NF instruction, this is YES if the device contains the first empty location in a daisy chain
(i.e., /FI LOW and /FF HIGH) and NO if it does not.
6. This is NO for a MOV or VBC instruction involving Memory at Highest-Priority match.
7. This is NO if the Persistent Destination is Memory at Highest-Priority match.
The minimum timings for the /E control signal are given in
such as a Status register or associated data read after a

buffers stay Hi-Z, and the daisy chain must be unlocked by

taking /EC HIGH during a NOP or other non-functioning
cycle, as indicated in Table 5a. Figure 6 on page 14 shows
how the internal /EC timing holds the daisy chain locking
effect over into the next cycle. In the Enhanced mode, this
COMPARE OPERATIONS
NOP is not needed before data or command writes following
a non-matching compare, as indicated by Table 5b. A
single-chip system does not require daisy-chained match
flag operation, hence /EC could be tied HIGH and the /MA
pin or flag in the Status register used instead of /MF,
allowing access to the device regardless of the match
condition.
During a Compare operation, the data in the Comparand
register is compared to all locations in the Memory array
simultaneously. Any mask register used during compares
must be selected beforehand in the Control register. There
are two ways compares are initiated: Automatic and Forced
compares.
