4.3 Write Operation
The TMPR3901F supports only single write operations for writes.
Figure 4-5 shows the timing for a single-write operation.
At the start of the operation, the BSTART* signal is asserted for one clock only. At the same time the WR*
and LAST* signals are asserted. Then the address A[31:2] and BE[3:0]* signals are valid.
Data is output to the data bus D[31:0] from the second clock after the start of the single-write cycle. An
external circuit latches the data and asserts an ACK* signal.
The TMPR3901F confirms the ACK* signal and on the next clock ends the single-write cycle.
The LAST* signal is deserted in the same clock cycle in which ACK* assertion is confirmed. The WR*
signal is asserted up until the single write cycle ends. The BE[3:0]*, A[31:2], and D[31:0] signals remain
valid until the end of the single write cycle.
The TMPR3901F ignores BUSERR* during a single write cycle. A single write cycle can therefore be ended
with an ACK* signal alone. Notifying the R3900 Processor Core of trouble requires asserting an interrupt
signal.
