CAS latency (also t
AA
, t
CAC
, CL).
The CAS latency or read latency specifies the time between latching a read
address and driving the data off chip. This spec is normalized to the sys-
tem clock and varies from 2 to 3 cycles based on the speed. The CAS
latency is selected by writing the
CL
bits in the SDRAM’s mode register
during the SDRAM powerup sequence.
CBR (CAS Before RAS) memory refresh.
DRAM devices have a built-in counter for the refresh row address. By
activating Column Address Strobe (CAS) before activating Row Address
Strobe (RAS), this counter is selected to supply the row address instead of
the address inputs.
CEC.
See Core Event Controller
circular addressing.
The process by which the Data Address Generator (DAG) “wraps around”
or repeatedly steps through a range of registers.
companding.
(Compressing/expanding). The process of logarithmically encoding and
decoding data to minimize the number of bits that must be sent.
conditional branches.
Jump or call/return instructions whose execution is based on defined
conditions.
core.
The core consists of these functional blocks: CPU, L1 memory, event con-
troller, core timer, and performance monitoring registers.
