Notes:
1. All PCI signals are measured from OVDD/2 of the rising edge of PCI_SYNC_IN to 0.4 × OVDD of the signal in question for
2. All memory and related interface input signal specifications are measured from the TTL level (0.8 or 2.0 V) of the signal in
question to the VM = 1.4 V of the rising edge of the memory bus clock, sys_logic_clk. sys_logic_clk is the same as
PCI_SYNC_IN in 1:1 mode but is twice the frequency in 2:1 mode (processor/memory bus clock rising edges occur on every
rising and falling edge of PCI_SYNC_IN). See
Figure 11.3. Input timings are measured at the pin.
4. tCLK is the time of one SDRAM_SYNC_IN clock cycle.
5. All mode select input signals specifications are measured from the TTL level (0.8 or 2.0 V) of the signal in question to the
VM = 1.4 V of the rising edge of the HRST_CPU/HRST_CTRL signal. See
Figure 13.
6. The memory interface input setup and hold times are programmable to four possible combinations by programming bits 5–4
of register offset <0x77> to select the desired input setup and hold times.
7. Tos represents a timing adjustment for SDRAM_SYNC_IN with respect to sys_logic_clk. Due to the internal delay present
on the SDRAM_SYNC_IN signal with respect to the sys_logic_clk inputs to the DLL, the resulting SDRAM clocks become
offset by the delay amount. To maintain phase-alignment of the memory clocks with respect to sys_logic_clk, the feedback
trace length of SDRAM_SYNC_OUT to SDRAM_SYNC_IN must be shortened to accommodate this range. The feedback
trace length is relative to the SDRAM clock output trace lengths. We recommend that the length of SDRAM_SYNC_OUT to
SDRAM_SYNC_IN be shortened by 0.7 ns because that is the midpoint of the range of Tos and allows the impact from the
range of Tos to be reduced. Additional analyses of trace lengths and SDRAM loading must be performed to optimize timing.
For details on trace measurements and the problem of Tos, refer to the Freescale application note AN2164,
