The time value
Tm
is used to define the duration of
Tstates
and, hence, the length of external memory
cycles;itsvalueis exactlyhalftheperiodofone
ProcClockOut
cycle (0.5*
TPCLPCL
),regardlessofmark/
space ratio of
ProcClockOut
.
Edges of the various external memory strobes coincide with rising or falling edges of
ProcClockOut
. It
should be noted, however, that there is a skew associated with each coincidence. The value of skew de-
pends on whether coincidence occurs when the
ProcClockOut
edge and strobe edge are both rising,
when both are fallingor ifeither isrising when theother is falling. Timingvalues given inthe strobe tables
show the bestand worst cases. If a more accurate timing relationship is required, the exact
