2.6.4 System Bus Access Timing
2.6.4.1 Core Data Transfers
Generally, all MSC8102 bus and system output signals are driven from the rising edge of the reference
clock (REFCLK). The REFCLK is either the DLLIN signal or, if DLL is disabled, the CLKOUT signal.
Memory controller signals, however, trigger on four points within a REFCLK cycle. Each cycle is
divided by four internal ticks: T1, T2, T3, and T4. T1 always occurs at the rising edge of REFCLK (and
Figure 2-2 is a graphical representation of the internal ticks.
The UPM machine and GPCM machine outputs change on the internal tick determined by the memory
controller programming, the AC specifications are relative to the internal tick. SDRAM machine outputs
change only on the REFCLK rising edge.

Notes:
1.
Synchronous operation. Asynchronous operation may have a higher setup time.
2.
Values are measured from the 50% TTL transition level relative to the 50% level of the REFCLK
rising edge.
