4 Direct Connection to the Toshiba TX3912
The S1D13505 was specifically designed to support the Toshiba MIPS TX3912 processor.
When configured, the S1D13505 will utilize one of the PC Card slots supported by the
processor.
4.1 Hardware Description
In this example implementation, the S1D13505 occupies one PC Card slot and resides in
the Attribute and IO address range. The processor provides address bits A[12:0], with
A[23:13] being multiplexed and available on the falling edge of ALE. Peripherals requiring
more than 8K bytes of address space would require an external latch for these multiplexed
bits. However, the S1D13505 has an internal latch specifically designed for this processor
making additional logic unnecessary. To further reduce the need for external components,
the S1D13505 has an optional BUSCLK divide-by-2 feature, allowing the high speed
DCLKOUT from the processor to be directly connected to the BUSCLK input of the
S1D13505. An optional external oscillator may be used for BUSCLK since the S1D13505
will accept host bus control signals asynchronously with respect to BUSCLK.
The following diagram shows a typical implementation of the interface.

When connecting the S1D13505 RESET# pin, the system designer should be aware of all
conditions that may reset the S1D13505 (e.g. CPU reset can be asserted during wake-up
from power-down modes, or during debug states).
