50 Refresh Options (Continued)

55 CLEARING THE REFRESH REQUEST CLOCK

The refresh request clock can be cleared by negating

DISRFSH and asserting RFSH for 500 ns one period of the

internal 2 MHz clock as shown in

Figure 21 By clearing the

refresh request clock the user is guaranteed that an inter-

nal refresh request will not be generated for approximately

15 ms one refresh clock period from the time RFSH is neg-

ated This action will also clear the refresh address counter

60 Port A Wait State Support

Wait states allow a CPU’s access cycle to be increased by

one or multiple CPU clock periods The wait or ready input is

named differently by CPU manufacturers However any

CPU’s wait or ready input is compatible with either the WAIT

or DTACK output of the DP8420A21A22A The user de-

termines whether to program WAIT or DTACK (R7) and

which value to select for WAIT or DTACK (R2 R3) depend-

ing upon the CPU used and where the CPU samples its wait

input during an access cycle

The decision to terminate the CPU access cycle is directly

affected by the speed of the DRAMs used The system de-

signer must ensure that the data from the DRAMs will be

present for the CPU to sample or that the data has been

written to the DRAM before allowing the CPU access cycle

to terminate

The insertion of wait states also allows a CPU’s access cy-

cle to be extended until the DRAM access has taken place

The DP8420A21A22A insert wait states into CPU access

cycles due to guaranteeing precharge time refresh current-

ly in progress user programmed wait states the WAITIN

signal being asserted and GRANTB not being valid

(DP8422A only) If one of these events is taking place and

the CPU starts an access the DP8420A21A22A will insert

wait states into the access cycle thereby increasing the

length of the CPU’s access Once the event has been com-

pleted the DP8420A21A22A will allow the access to take

place and stop inserting wait states

There are six programming bits R2 – R7 an input WAITIN

and an output that functions as WAIT or DTACK

61 WAIT TYPE OUTPUT

With the R7 address bit negated during programming the

user selects the WAIT output As long as WAIT is sampled

asserted by the CPU wait states (extra clock periods) are

inserted into the current access cycle as shown in

Figure

22 Once WAIT is sampled negated the access cycle is

completed by the CPU WAIT is asserted at the beginning of

a chip selected access and is programmed to negate a

number of positive edges andor negative levels of CLK

from the event that starts the access WAIT can also be

programmed to function in pageburst mode applications

Once WAIT is negated during an access and the ECAS

inputs are negated with AREQ asserted WAIT can be pro-

grammed to toggle following the ECAS inputs Once AREQ

is negated ending the access WAIT will stay negated until

the next chip selected access For more details about WAIT
