Address timing

The ARM7TDMI processor address bus can operate in one of two configurations:

•

pipelined

•

depipelined.

Note

ARM Limited strongly recommends that pipelined address timing is used in new design
to obtain optimum system performance.

ARM Limited strongly recommends that

ALE

is tied HIGH and not used in new

designs.

Address depipelined configuration is controlled by the

APE

ALE

input signal. The

configuration is provided to ease the design of the ARM7TDMI processor in both
SRAM and DRAM-based systems.

APE

affects the timing of the address bus

A[31:0]

, plus

nRW

MAS[1:0]

LOCK

nOPC

, and

nTRANS

In most systems, particularly a DRAM-based system, it is desirable to obtain the
address from ARM7TDMI processor as early as possible. When

APE

is HIGH then the

ARM7TDMI processor address becomes valid after the rising edge of

MCLK

before

the memory cycle to which it refers. This timing allows longer periods for address
decoding and the generation of DRAM control signals. Figure 3-8 shows the effect on
the timing when

APE

is HIGH.

Figure 3-8 Pipelined addresses

SRAMs and ROMs require that the address is held stable throughout the memory cycle.
In a system containing SRAM and ROM only,

APE

can be tied permanently LOW,

producing the desired address timing. In this configuration the address becomes valid
after the falling edge of

MCLK

as shown in Figure 3-9 on page 3-15.
