An entry in the TTI table is checked approximately every two clock cycles. If the TTI’s tick (configured

through TICK_IDX) has changed, then the TICK_CNT is decremented. If it becomes zero, the frame is

injected, and TICK_CNT is set to TIMER_LEN.

3.25.4.1 TTI Calendar

In default configuration, TTI table entries are serviced from 0-2047, then restarted again at entry 0.

When configuring the TTI table, the following must be considered:

•

It takes up to 4 clock cycles, worst-case, to service an entry in the TTI table.

•

A TTI must be serviced more frequently than the frequency of the TTI’s tick (see

TTI_TIMER.TICK_IDX).

This means that looping through the entire TTI table may take 2048 × 4 = 8192 clock cycles. With a clock

period of 4 ns, this corresponds to approximately 66 µs. In other words, no TTI must use a tick faster

than 66 us.

If TTIs faster than 66 µs are required, the TTI calendar can be used to have some entries in the TTI table

serviced more often than others, meaning the TTI table can be split into sections with TTIs using ticks of

different speeds.

The TTI calendar consists of four entries, as described in Table 6

The following illustration shows a configuration for the TTI calendar. In this case, only TTI entry 0-1023

are being used.
