Function
ALE
Input
AL30
Address Latch Enable.
The address latch enable signal
(ALE) is active high and latches the address bus
(A[11:0]) when it is set low. The internal address latches
are transparent when ALE is set high. ALE allows the
NSE-8G to interface to a multiplexed address/data bus.
ALE has an integral pull up resistor.
INTB
Open Drain
Output
AN30
Interrupt Request Bar
. The active low interrupt enable
signal (INTB) output goes low when an NSE-8G interrupt
source is active and that source is unmasked. INTB
returns high when the interrupt is acknowledged via an
appropriate register access. INTB is an open drain
output.
JTAG Port (5 Balls)
TCK
Input
B14
Test Clock.
The JTAG test clock signal (TCK) provides
timing for test operations that are carried out using the
IEEE P1149.1 test access port.
TMS
Input
B13
Test Mode Select.
The JTAG test mode select signal
(TMS) controls the test operations that are carried out
using the IEEE P1149.1 test access port. TMS is
sampled on the rising edge of TCK. TMS has an integral
pull-up resistor.
TDI
Input
C12
Test Data Input.
The JTAG test data input signal (TDI)
carries test data into the NSE-8G via the IEEE P1149.1
test access port. TDI is sampled on the rising edge of
TCK. TDI has an integral pull-up resistor.
TDO
Tri-state
C11
Test Data Output.
TheJTAG test data output signal
(TDO) carries test data out of the NSE-8G via the IEEE
P1149.1 test access port. TDO is updated on the falling
edge of TCK. TDO is a tri-state output which is inactive
except when scanning of data is in progress.
TRSTB
Input
D14
Test Reset Bar.
The active low JTAG test reset signal
(TRSTB) provides an asynchronous NSE-8G test access
port reset via the IEEE P1149.1 test access port. TRSTB
is a Schmitt triggered input with an integral pull-up
resistor.
Note that when TRSTB is not being used, it must be
connected to the RSTB input.
