TSS461F

Microprocessor

Interface

The processor controls the TSS461F by reading and writing the internal registers of the circuit.

These registers appear to the processor as regular memory locations.

Interface Modes

The TSS461F must be plugged in an Intel or Motorola environment with an 8-bit address/data

bus multiplexed.

Table 1. Access Mode Logic

In Intel environment, access operations need CS active, a read one with RD active, a write one

with WR active. If TSS461F is the single peripheral in the processor space, CS can be wired to

VCC.

In Motorola environment, the RD pin is wired to VSS and the access operations are driven by

CS (E). Contrary to Intel mode, CS (E) must never be wired to Vcc even if the TSS461F is alone.

To switch on-the-fly from one mode to the other, CS must be inactive.

Intel Mode

The Intel mode interface consists of 13 pins. 8 pins are the multiplexed address and data bus,

and the rest are the address strobe, the read and write commands, the chip select and the inter-

rupt request pins.

To access the memory locations in Intel mode, the processor must first assert a valid address on

the multiplexed address and data bus and drive the address strobe pin high. When the required

set up time has passed, the processor must drive the address strobe low, and keep the address

valid for the required hold time.

The processor must then either assert the data to be written on the address and data bus, if a

write is intended, or float the data bus for a read. The next step is to drive either the write or read

command pins low, according to the function required, and at the same time drive the chip select

pin high.

The TSS461F access cycle is then terminated by driving the chip select and command pins low.

Note:

that the chip select pin may be driven high for the entire access cycle, and may also remain high

during and after the termination of the cycle.
