munication between the C/P and the Framer
Microprocessor Interface block.
A.3
Assert the ALE_AS (Address Latch Enable) pin
by toggling it "High". This step enables the
Address Bus input drivers, within the Micropro-
cessor Interface block of the Framer.
A.4
After allowing the data on the Address Bus pins
to settle (by waiting the appropriate Address
Data Setup time), the C/P should then toggle
the ALE_AS pin "Low". This step latches the
contents, on the Address Bus pins, A[8:0], into
the XRT7250 DS3/E3 Framer Microprocessor
Interface block. At this point, the initial address
of the burst access has now been selected.
NOTE: The ALE_AS input pin should remain "Low" for the
remainder of this Burst Access operation.
A.5
Next, the C/P should indicate that this cur-
rent bus cycle is a Read Operation by toggling
the RD_DS (Read Strobe) input pin "Low".
This action also enables the bi-directional data
bus output drivers of the Framer device. At this
point, the bi-directional data bus output drivers
will proceed to drive the contents of the
addressed register onto the bi-directional data
bus, D[7:0].
A.6
Immediately after the C/P toggles the Read
Strobe signal "Low", the Framer device will tog-
gle the RDY_DTCK (READY) output pin "Low".
The Framer device does this in order to inform
the C/P that the data (to be read from the
data bus) is NOT READY to be latched into the
C/P.
A.7
After some settling time, the data on the bi-
directional data bus will stabilize and can be
read by the C/P. The XRT7250 DS3/E3
Framer will indicate that this data is ready to be
read, by toggling the RDY_DTCK (Ready) sig-
nal "High".
A.8
After the C/P detects the RDY_DTCK signal
(from the XRT7250 DS3/E3 Framer IC), it can
then will terminate the Read cycle by toggling
the RD_DS (Read Strobe) input pin "High".
Figure 29 presents an illustration of the behavior of
the Microprocessor Interface Signals, during the initial
Read Operation, within a Burst I/O Cycle for an Intel-
type C/P.
At the completion of this initial read cycle, the C/P
has read in the contents of the first register or buffer
location (within the XRT7250 DS3/E3 Framer) for this
particular burst I/O access operation. In order to illus-
trate how this burst access operation works, the byte
(or word) of data, that is being read in
Figure 29, has
been labeled Valid Data at Offset = 0x00. This label
