Table C–2 Transfer Period Factor Field Values When PARL = 0
Code Description
00h – 09h Reserved.
0Ah Transfer period = 25 ns (Fast-40 data is latched every 25 ns).
0Bh Transfer period = 30 ns (Fast-40 data is latched every 30 ns).
OCh Transfer period = 50 ns (Fast-20 data is latched using a transfer period of less than or
equal to 96 ns and greater than or equal to 50 ns).
0Dh – 18h Transfer period = the period factor x 4 (Fast-20 data is latched using a transfer period
of less than or equal to 96 ns and greater than or equal to 50 ns).
19h – 31h Transfer period = the period factor x 4 (Fast-10 data is latched using a transfer period
of less than or equal to 196 ns and greater than or equal to 100 ns).
32h - FFh Transfer period = the period factor x 4 (Fast-5 data is latched using a transfer period
of less than or equal to 1020 ns and greater than or equal to 200 ns).
