Address Counter Control Operations
Counter enable inputs are provided to stall the operation of the
address input and utilize the internal address generated by the
internal counter for the fast interleaved memory applications.
A port’s burst counter is loaded with the port’s Counter Load
pin (CNTLD). When the port’s Counter Increment (CNTINC) is
asserted, the address counter will increment on each LOW to
HIGH transition of that port’s clock signal. This will read/write
one word from/into each successive address location until
CNTINC is deasserted. Depending on the mask register state,
the counter can address the entire memory array and will loop
back to start. Counter Reset (CNTRST) is used to reset the
Burst Counter (the Mask Register value is unaffected). When
using the counter in readback mode, the internal address val-
ue of the counter will be read back on the address lines when
Counter Readback Signal (CNTRD) is asserted. Figure 1 pro-
vides a block diagram of the readback operation. Table 2 lists
control signals required for counter operations. The signals are
listed based on their priority. For example, master reset takes
precedence over counter reset, and counter load has lower
priority than mask register load (described below). All counter
operations are independent of Chip Enables (CE0 and CE1).
When the address readback operation is performed the data
I/Os are three-stated (if CEs are active) and one-clock cycle
(no-operation cycle) latency is experienced. The address will
be read at time tCA2 from the rising edge of the clock following
the no-operation cycle. The read back address can be either
of the burst counter or the mask register based on the levels
of Counter Read signal (CNTRD) and Mask Register Read
signal (MKRD). Both signals are synchronized to the port's
clock as shown in Table 2. Counter read has a higher priority
than mask read.
