Faster ATA modes (i.e., UDMA 0, 1, 2) are supported when the system is running at a sufficient frequency to provide adequate
data transfer rates. Adequate data transfer rates are a function of the following:
The MPC5121e/MPC5123 operating frequency (IP bus clock frequency)
Internal MPC5121e/MPC5123 bus latencies
Other system load dependent variables
The ATA clock is the same frequency as the IP bus clock in MPC5121e/MPC5123. See the MPC5121e/MPC5123 Reference
Manual.
NOTE
All output timing numbers are specified for nominal 50 pF loads.

PATA Timing Parameters
In the timing equations, some timing parameters are used. These parameters depend on the implementation of the ATA interface
in silicon, the bus transceiver used, the cable delay and cable skew. The parameters shown in
Table 3-25 specify the ATA timing.
