TMS570LC4357: EMIF_WAIT HANDLING

Part Number: TMS570LC4357

Tool/software:

Hi,

We have interfaced EMIF_WAIT of the Controller to the Asynchronous Memory Device, which generates WAIT signal for Read Access.

We configured Asynchronous configuration register (CE4CFG) & AWCC Register.

The observation is that, the Chip Select (CS4), is not getting extended according to EMIF_WAIT input. 

How to extend the Read cycle depending on the EMIF_ WAIT input

Regards,

KPL

  • Hi KPL,

    The EMIF_WAIT signal will only extend the strobe period in the communication:

    It is an input signal, and it extends the strobe period as long as the EMIF_WAIT signal asserted.

    To perform this, we have to do two configurations:

    1. To enable the EMIF_WAIT functionality we should set the EW bit in the CE2CFG register.

    2. We should choose the polarity of the EMIF_WAIT using the WP0 bit in the AWCC register:

    For example, if your configuration is, EW=1 and WP0 = 0 then we should apply a low pulse on the EMIF_WAIT input to extend the strobe period:

    I mean as long as the EMIF_WAIT input is low the strobe period keeps on get extend and once the WP0=1 then strobe period extending will get stop and the communication will get happen normally.
