DATASHEET
8.5.4 PIO Reads
PIO reads can be used to access System CSR’s or RX Data and RX/TX Status FIFOs. PIO reads can
be performed using Chip Select (nCS) or Read Enable (nRD). A PIO Read cycle begins when both
nCS and nRD are asserted. Either or both of these control signals must de-assert between cycles for
the period specified in Table 15.8, “PIO Read Cycle Timing Values,” on page 448. The cycle ends when
either or both nCS and nRD are de-asserted. They may be asserted and de-asserted in any order.
Read data is valid as indicated in the functional timing diagram in Figure 8.3.
The endian select signal (END_SEL) has the same timing characteristics as the address lines.
Please refer to Section 15.5.4, "PIO Read Cycle Timing," on page 448 for the AC timing specifications
for PIO read operations.
Note: Some registers have restrictions on the timing of back-to-back write-read cycles. Please refer
to Section 8.5.2 for information on these restrictions.
