Asynchronous" Mode Read Operation.
THE INTEL-ASYNCHRONOUS WRITE CYCLE
If the Microprocessor Interface (of the XRT83L34 device) has been configured to operate in the Intel-
Asynchronous Mode, then the Microprocessor should do all of the following anytime that it wishes to write a
byte of data into a register within the XRT83L34 device.
1. Place the address of the "target" register (within the XRT83L34 device) on the Address Bus Input pins,
A[6:0].
2. While the Microprocessor is placing the address value on the Address bus, the Address Decoding circuitry
(within the user’s system) should assert the CS* (Chip Select) input pin of the XRT83L34 device by tog-
gling it "LOW". This action enables further communication between the Microprocessor and the XRT83L34
Microprocessor Interface.
3. Toggle the ALE/AS (Address Latch Enable) input pin "HIGH". This step enables the "Address Bus" input
drivers, within the Microprocessor Interface block of the XRT83L34 device.
4. After allowing the data on the Address Bus pins to settle (by waiting the appropriate "Address Set-up" time)
the Microprocessor should toggle the ALE/AS input pin "LOW". This step causes the XRT83L34 device to
"latch" the contents of the "Address Bus" into its internal circuitry. At this point, the address of the register
(within the XRT83L34 device) has now been selected.
5. Next, the Microprocessor should then place the byte that it intends to write into the "target" register (within
the XRT83L34 device), on the Bi-Direction Data Bus pins (D[7:0]).
6. Afterwards, the Microprocessor should then indicate that this current bus cycle is a "Write" Operation; by
toggling the WR*/R/W (Write Strobe) input pin "LOW". This active also enables the "Bi-Directional" Data
Bus Input Drivers of the XRT83L34 device. At this point, the "Bi-Directional" data bus input drivers will pro-
ceed to drive the contents (currently residing on the Bi-Directional Data Bus into the register that corre-
sponds with the "latched" address.
7. Immediately after the Microprocessor toggles the "Write Strobe" (WR*/R/W*) signal "LOW" the XRT83L34
device will continue to drive the "RDY*/DTACK*" output pin "high". The XRT83L34 device does this in
order to inform the Microprocessor that the data (to be written into the "target" address location, within the
XRT83L34 device) is "NOT READY" to be latched into the Microprocessor Interface block circuitry (within
