2.12.9. External Field Memory
The requirements of the external field memory are:
– FIFO type access with reset
– write mask function: The increasing of the write
address pointer and the over writing of the data
should be controlled separately.
– output disable function: tri-statetable outputs
For PIP applications, VPC 32xxD supports 4:1:1 or
4:2:2 chrominance format. Table 2–13 shows the typi-
cal memory size for a 13.5 and 16 MHz system clock
application.
The following 5 signals are generated by VPC 32xxD
to control the external field memory:
RSTWR
(reset write/read) resets the internal write/
read address pointer to zero.
WE
(write enable) is used to enable or disable incre-
menting of the internal write address pointer.
IE
(input enable) is used to enable writing data from
the field memory input pins into the memory core, or to
disable writing and thereby preserving the previous
content of the memory (write mask function).
RE
(read enable) is used to enable or disable incre-
menting the internal read address pointer.
OE
(output enable) is used to enable or disable data
output to the output pins.
As serial write and serial read clock (
SWCK
and
SRCK
, respectively) of the field memory the line
locked clocks LLC1 and/or LLC2 are used.
