Operational Modes
The CS4953xx has several operational modes that can be used to conform to many system configurations. The
operational modes for the CS4953xx specify both the communication mode and boot mode. This chapter discusses
the selection of operational modes, booting procedures and performing a soft reset.
The CS4953xx can be either a slave device or a master device for the boot procedure. In Master Boot Mode, the
CS4953xx is the master boot device and can automatically boot the application code from either serial or parallel
external ROM (the slave boot device). In Slave Boot Mode, the CS4953xx is the slave boot device and requires the
system host controller (the master boot device) to determine how to boot the application code. The system host
controller can either load the application code or the host can direct the CS4953xx to boot application code from
serial or parallel external ROM. See
.
Thus, there are three boot modes for the CS4953xx:
•
Master Boot (From serial or parallel external ROM)
•
Slave Boot (Using SPI, I
2
C, Intel, Motorola, or Multiplexed Intel protocols.)
•
Host Controlled Master Boot (serial or parallel external ROM)
When the CS4953xx is configured for an operational mode where it is the slave boot device, one of the below
communication modes must be specified by the host controller (that is, the master boot device). These
communication modes are described in detail in
,
and
,
. Please see these chapters for block diagrams and flowcharts depicting each of the CS4963x boot modes.
