14.4.2 Timing Simulation
The timing calculations depend on the system configuration. The configuration changes include the CPU type and
number of devices connected to the CPU bus. Most CPU AC timings will match the following tables.
The following sections provide the CPU interface timing requirements for some typical system configurations.
Single GT-64260A and a Single CPU System (Including Cache Coherency) in Single-GT Mode
In this configuration, the signals are connected from the GT-64260A to the CPU in a point-to-point configuration.
