Asynchronous External Memory Interface (EMIF)  
1
Introduction  
This document describes the operation of the asynchronous external memory interface (EMIF) in the  
TMS320DM646x Digital Media System-on-Chip (DMSoC).  
1.1 Purpose of the Peripheral  
The purpose of this EMIF is to provide a means to connect to a variety of external devices including:  
NAND Flash  
Asynchronous devices including Flash and SRAM  
Host processor interfaces such as the host port interface (HPI) on a Texas Instruments Digital Signal  
Processor (DSP)  
The most common use for the EMIF is to interface with both flash devices and SRAM devices. The  
Example Configuration section contains examples of operating the EMIF in this configuration.  
1.2 Features  
The EMIF includes many features to enhance the ease and flexibility of connecting to external  
asynchronous devices. The EMIF features includes support for:  
4 addressable chip select spaces of up to 32MB each  
8-bit and 16-bit data bus widths  
Programmable cycle timings such as setup, strobe, and hold times as well as turnaround time  
Select strobe mode  
Extended Wait mode  
NAND Flash ECC generation  
Connecting as a host to a TI DSP HPI interface  
Data bus parking

Architecture  
1.3 Functional Block Diagram  
Figure 1 illustrates the connections between the EMIF and its internal requesters, along with the external  
EMIF pins. Section 2.2 contains a description of the entities internal to the device that can send requests  
to the EMIF, along with their prioritization. Section 2.3 describes the EMIF's external pins and summarizes  
their purpose when interfacing with SDRAM and asynchronous devices.

Architecture  
This section provides details about the architecture and operation of the EMIF.  
2.1 Clock Control  
The EMIF's internal clock is sourced from the SYSCLK3 clock domain of PLL controller 0 and cannot be  
sourced directly from an external input clock. The frequency of the SYSCLK3 clock domain is the PLL0  
frequency divided by 4. Changes to the frequency of the input clock to PLL controller 0 and to the PLL  
controller 0 multiplier values alters the operating frequency of the EMIF. See the TMS320DM646x DMSoC  
ARM Subsystem Reference Guide (SPRUEP9) for more information on how to program the PLL  
controller.  
2.2 EMIF Requests  
Four different sources within the device can make requests to the EMIF. These requests consist of  
accesses to asynchronous memory and EMIF memory-mapped registers. Because the EMIF can process  
only one request at a time, a high performance switched central resource (SCR) exists to provide  
prioritized requests from the different sources to the EMIF. Each requester has a programmable priority  
value that may be configured in the System Module MSTPRI0 register or in the EDMACC QUEPRI  
register. See the device-specific data manual for more information.  
If a request is submitted from two or more sources simultaneously, the SCR will forward the highest  
priority request to the EMIF first. Upon completion of a request, the SCR again evaluates the pending  
requests and forwards the highest priority pending request to the EMIF.

I
Active-low pin enable for asynchronous devices. This pin provides a signal which is active-low during  
the strobe period of an asynchronous read access cycle.  
EM_WE  
Active-low write enable. This pin provides a signal which is active-low during the strobe period of an  
asynchronous write access cycle.  
EM_WAIT[5:2]  
Wait input with programmable polarity. A connected asynchronous device can extend the strobe period  
of an access cycle by asserting the WAIT input to the EMIF as described in Section 2.5.8. To enable  
this functionality, the EW bit in the asynchronous configuration register (ACFGn) must be set to 1. In  
addition, the WPn bit in the asynchronous wait cycle configuration register (AWCCR) must be  
configured to define the polarity of the EM_WAITn pin.  
2.4 Pin Multiplexing  
The EMIF pins are multiplexed with other peripherals such as PCI, HPI, GPIO, and ATA. See the  
device-specific data manual for instructions on how to select the EMIF pins for proper operation.  
2.5 Asynchronous Controller and Interface  
The EMIF easily interfaces to a variety of asynchronous devices including Flash and ASRAM. It can be  
operated in three major modes:  
Normal mode  
Select Strobe (SS) mode  
NAND Flash mode  
The behavior of the EM_CS signal is the single difference between Normal mode and Select Strobe mode  
(see Table 2). In Normal mode, the EM_CS signal becomes active at the beginning of the setup period  
and remains active for the duration of the transfer. In Select Strobe mode, the EM_CS signal functions as  
a strobe signal, active only during the strobe period of an access.  
In NAND Flash mode, the EMIF hardware is able to calculate the error correction code (ECC) for each  
512 byte data transfer. In addition to the three modes of operation, the EMIF also provides configurable  
cycle timing parameters and an Extended Wait mode that allows the connected device to extend the  
strobe period of an access cycle. The following sections describe the features related to interfacing with  
external asynchronous devices.

Architecture  
2.5.1  
Interfacing to Asynchronous Memory  
Figure 2 shows the EMIF's external pins used in interfacing with an asynchronous device. Of special note  
is the connection between the EMIF and the external device's address bus. The EMIF address pin  
EM_A[0] always provides the least significant bit of a 32-bit word address. Therefore, when interfacing to a  
16-bit or 8-bit asynchronous device, the EM_BA[1] and EM_BA[0] pins provide the least-significant bits of  
the halfword or byte address, respectively. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the mapping between the EMIF  
and the connected device's data and address pins for various programmed data bus widths. The data bus  
width may be configured in the asynchronous configuration register (ACFGn).

Architecture  
2.5.2  
Programmable Asynchronous Parameters  
The EMIF allows a high degree of programmability for shaping asynchronous accesses. The  
programmable parameters are:  
Setup: The time between the beginning of a memory cycle (address valid) and the activation of the  
output enable or write enable strobe  
Strobe: The time between the activation and deactivation of output enable or write enable strobe.  
Hold: The time between the deactivation of output enable or write enable strobe and the end of the  
cycle, which may be indicated by an address change or the deactivation of the EM_CS signal.  
Separate parameters are provided for read and write cycles. Each parameter is programmed in terms of  
EMIF clock cycles.  
2.5.3  
Configuring the EMIF for Asynchronous Accesses  
The operation of the EMIF's asynchronous interface can be configured by programming the appropriate  
memory-mapped registers. The reset value and bit position for each register field can be found in  
Section 4. The following tables list the programmable register fields and describe the purpose of each  
field. These registers should not be programmed while an asynchronous access is in progress. The  
transfer following a write to these registers will use the new configuration.  
Table 3 describes the asynchronous configuration register (ACFGn). There are four ACFGns. Each chip  
select space has a dedicated ACFGn. This allows each chip select space to be programmed  
independently to interface to different asynchronous memory types.  
Table 3. Description of the Asynchronous Configuration Register (ACFGn)  
Parameter  
Description  
SS  
Select Strobe mode. This bit selects the EMIF's mode of operation in the following way:  
SS = 0 selects Normal mode. EM_CS is active for duration of access.  
SS = 1 selects Select Strobe mode. EM_CS acts as a strobe.  
EW  
Extended Wait mode enable.  
EW = 0 disables Extended Wait mode  
EW = 1 enables Extended Wait mode  
When set to 1, the EMIF enables its Extended Wait mode in which the strobe width of an access  
cycle can be extended in response to the assertion of the EM_WAIT[5:2] pins. The WPn bit in the  
asynchronous wait cycle configuration register (AWCCR) controls the polarity of the EM_WAITn pin.  
See Section 2.5.8 for more details on this mode of operation.  
W_SETUP/R_SETUP  
W_STROBE/R_STROBE  
W_HOLD/R_HOLD  
TA  
Read/Write setup widths.  
These fields define the number of EMIF clock cycles of setup time for the address pins (EM_A and  
EM_BA) and asynchronous chip enable (EM_CS) before the read strobe pin (READ_OE) or write  
strobe pin (WRITE_WE) falls, minus 1 cycle. For writes, the W_SETUP field also defines the setup  
time for the data pins (EM_D). Refer to the datasheet of the external asynchronous device to  
determine the appropriate setting for this field.  
Read/Write strobe widths.  
These fields define the number of EMIF clock cycles between the falling and rising of the read strobe  
pin (READ_OE) or write strobe pin (WRITE_WE), minus 1 cycle. If Extended Wait mode is enabled  
by setting the EW bit in the asynchronous configuration register (ACFGn), these fields must be set to  
a value greater than zero. Refer to the datasheet of the external asynchronous device to determine  
the appropriate setting for this field.  
Read/Write hold widths.  
These fields define the number of EMIF clock cycles of hold time for the address pins (EM_A and  
EM_BA) and asynchronous chip enable (EM_CS) after the read strobe pin (READ_OE) or write  
strobe pin (WRITE_WE) rises, minus 1 cycle. For writes, the W_HOLD field also defines the hold  
time for the data pins (EM_D). Refer to the datasheet of the external asynchronous device to  
determine the appropriate setting for this field.  
Minimum turnaround time.  
This field defines the minimum number of EMIF clock cycles between the end of one asynchronous  
access and the start of another, minus 1 cycle. This delay is not incurred when a read is followed by  
a read, or a write is followed by a write to the same chip select space. The purpose of this feature is  
to avoid contention on the bus. Refer to the datasheet of the external asynchronous device to  
determine the appropriate setting for this field.

Table 3. Description of the Asynchronous Configuration Register (ACFGn) (continued)  
Parameter  
ASIZE  
Description  
Asynchronous Device Bus Width.  
This field determines the data bus width of the asynchronous interface in the following way:  
ASIZE = 0 selects an 8-bit bus  
ASIZE = 1 selects a 16-bit bus  
The configuration of ASIZE determines the function of the EM_A and EM_BA pins as described in  
Section 2.5.1. This field also determines the number of external accesses required to fulfill a request  
generated by one of the sources mentioned in Section 2.2. For example, a request for a 32-bit word  
would require four external access when ASIZE = 0h. Refer to the datasheet of the external  
asynchronous device to determine the appropriate setting for this field.  
Table 4. Description of the Asynchronous Wait Cycle Configuration Register (AWCCR)  
Parameter  
Description  
WPn  
WAIT Polarity.  
WPn = 0 selects active-low polarity  
WPn = 1 selects active-high polarity  
When set to 1, the EMIF will wait if the EM_WAITn pin is high. When cleared to 0, the EMIF will wait if the  
EM_WAITn pin is low. The EMIF must have the Extended Wait mode enabled (EW bit in the asynchronous  
configuration register (ACFGn) is set to 1) for the EM_WAITn pin to affect the width of the strobe period.  
MEWC  
Maximum Extended Wait Cycles.  
This field configures the number of EMIF clock cycles the EMIF will wait for the EM_WAITn pin to be deactivated  
during the strobe period of an access cycle. The maximum number of EMIF clock cycles the EMIF will wait is  
determined by the following formula:  
Maximum Extended Wait Cycles = (MEWC + 1) × 16  
If the EM_WAITn pin is not deactivated within the time specified by this field, the EMIF resumes the access cycle,  
registering whatever data is on the bus and preceding to the hold period of the access cycle. This situation is  
referred to as an asynchronous timeout. An asynchronous timeout generates an interrupt if it has been enabled in  
the EMIF interrupt mask set register (EIMSR). Refer to Section 2.5.11 for more information about the EMIF  
interrupts.

Read and Write Operations in Normal Mode  
Normal mode is the asynchronous interface's default mode of operation. The Normal mode is selected  
when the SS bit in the asynchronous configuration register (ACFGn) is cleared to 0. In this mode, the  
EM_CS signal operates as a chip enable signal, active throughout the duration of the memory access.  
2.5.4.1  
Asynchronous Read Operations (Normal Mode)  
An asynchronous read is performed when any of the requesters mentioned in Section 2.2 request a read  
from the attached asynchronous memory. In the event that the read request cannot be serviced by a  
single access cycle to the external device, multiple access cycles will be performed by the EMIF until the  
entire request is fulfilled. The details of an asynchronous read operation in Normal mode are described in  
Table 7 and an example timing diagram of a basic read operation is shown in Figure 4.  
NOTE: During the entirety of an asynchronous read operation, the WRITE_WE and EM_RW pins  
are driven high.

Turnaround  
period  
Once the EMIF receives a read request, the EMIF waits for the programmed number of turn-around cycles  
before proceeding to the setup period of the operation. The number of wait cycles is taken directly from the TA  
field of the asynchronous configuration register (ACFGn). There are two exceptions to this rule:  
If the current read operation was directly proceeded by another read operation to the same CS space, no  
turnaround cycles are inserted.  
If the current read operation was not directly proceeded by a read operation to the same CS space and the  
TA field has been cleared to 0, one turn-around cycle will be inserted.  
After the EMIF has waited for the turnaround cycles to complete, it proceeds to the setup period of the operation.

complete an entire word access. In this case, the EMIF immediately re-enters the setup period to begin another  
operation without incurring the turn-round cycle delay. The setup, strobe, and hold values are not updated in this  
case. If the entire word access has been completed, the EMIF returns to its previous state unless another  
asynchronous request has been submitted and is currently the highest priority task. If this is the case, the EMIF  
instead enters directly into the turnaround period for the pending read or write operation.

Select Strobe mode is the EMIF's second mode of operation. The SS mode is selected when the SS bit in

NAND Flash Mode  
NAND Flash mode is the EMIF's third mode of operation. Each chip select space may be placed in NAND  
Flash mode individually by setting the appropriate CSnNAND bit in the NAND Flash control register  
(NANDFCR). Table 11 displays the bit fields present in NANDFCR and briefly describes their use.  
When a chip select space is configured to operate in NAND Flash mode, the EMIF hardware can calculate  
the error correction code (ECC) for each 512 byte data transfer to that chip select space. The EMIF  
hardware will not generate the NAND access cycle, which includes the command, address, and data  
phases, necessary to complete a transfer to NAND Flash. All NAND Flash operations can be divided into  
single asynchronous cycles and with the help of software, the EMIF can execute a complete NAND  
access cycle.

be programmed appropriately to interface to a NAND Flash device. Table 12 lists the bit fields that must  
be programmed when operating in NAND Flash mode and the values to set each bit. NAND Flash mode

are used to drive the NAND Flash device's command latch enable (CLE) and address latch enable (ALE)

Driving CLE and ALE  
As stated in Section 2.5.1, the EMIF always drives the least significant bit of a 32-bit word address on  
EM_A[0]. This functionality must be considered when attempting to drive the address lines connected to  
CLE and ALE to the appropriate state.  
For example, if using EM_A[2] and EM_A[1] to connect to CLE and ALE, respectively, the following offsets  
should be chosen:  
00h to drive CLE and ALE low  
10h to drive CLE high and ALE low  
0Bh to drive CLE low and ALE high  
These offsets should be added to the base address for the chip select space the NAND Flash device is  
connected to. For example, if the base address of the CS space the NAND Flash device is connected to is  
4200 0000h, then the above list translates to the following memory-mapped addresses: 4200 0000h, 4200  
0010h, and 4200 000Bh, respectively. Therefore, when attempting to drive CLE high and ALE low, the  
memory-mapped address of 4200 0010h would be written to.

Architecture  
2.5.6.4  
NAND Read and Program Operations  
A NAND Flash access cycle is composed of a command, address, and data phase. The EMIF will not  
automatically generate these three phases to complete a NAND access with one transfer request. To  
complete a NAND access cycle, multiple single asynchronous access cycles (as described above) must  
be completed by the EMIF. Software must be used to request the appropriate asynchronous accesses to  
complete a NAND Flash access cycle. This software must be developed to the specification of the chosen  
NAND Flash device.  
Since NAND operations are divided into single asynchronous access cycles, the chip select signal will not  
remain activated for the duration of the NAND operation. Instead, the chip select signal will deactivate  
between each asynchronous access cycle. For this reason, the EMIF does not support NAND Flash  
devices that require the chip select signal to remain low during the tR time for a read. See Section 2.5.6.8  
for workaround.  
Care must be taken when performing a NAND read or write operation via the EDMA. See Section 2.5.6.5  
for more details.  
NOTE: The EMIF does not support NAND Flash devices that require the chip select signal to  
remain low during the tR time for a read. See Section 2.5.6.8 for workaround.  
2.5.6.5  
NAND Data Read and Write via DMA  
When performing NAND accesses, the EDMA is most efficiently used for the data phase of the access.  
The command and address phases of the NAND access require only a few words of data to be  
transferred and therefore do not take advantage of the EDMA's ability to transfer larger quantities of data  
with a single request. In this section we will focus on using the EDMA for the data phase of a NAND  
access.  
There are two conditions that require care to be taken when performing NAND reads and writes via the  
EDMA. These are:  
CLE_EM_A[2] and ALE_EM_A[1] are lower address lines and must be driven low  
The EMIF does not support a constant address mode, but only supports linear incrementing address  
modes.  
Since the EMIF does not support a constant addressing mode, when programming the EDMA, a linear  
incrementing address mode must be used. When using a linear incrementing address mode, since the  
CLE and ALE are driven by lower address lines, care must be taken not to increase the address into a  
range the drives CLE and/or ALE high. To prevent the address from incrementing into a range that drives  
CLE and/or ALE high, the EDMA ACNT, BCNT, SIDX, DIDX, and synchronization type must be  
programmed appropriately. The proper EDMA configurations are described below.  
EDMA setup for a NAND Flash data read:  
ACNT 8 bytes (this can also be set to less than or equal to the external data bus width)  
BCNT = transfer size in bytes/ACNT  
SIDX (source index) = 0  
DIDX (destination index) = ACNT  
AB synchronized  
EDMA setup for a NAND Flash data write:

2.5.6.6  
ECC Generation  
If the CSnNAND bit in the NAND Flash control register (NANDFCR) is set to 1, the EMIF supports ECC  
calculation for up to 512 bytes for the corresponding chip select care. To perform the ECC calculation, the  
CS2ECC bit in NANDFCR must be set to 1. The ECC calculation for each chip select space is  
independent of each other. It is the responsibility of the software to start the ECC calculation by writing to  
the CS2ECC bit prior to issuing a write or read to NAND Flash. It is also the responsibility of the software  
to read the calculated ECC from the NAND Flash 1 ECC register (NANDF1ECC) once the transfer to  
NAND Flash has completed. If the software writes or reads more than 512 bytes, the ECC will be  
incorrect. There is a NANDECCn for each chip select space and when read, the corresponding CSnECC  
bit in NANDFCR is cleared. The NANDF1ECC is cleared upon writing a 1 to the CS2ECC bit. Figure 9  
shows the algorithm used to calculate the ECC value for an 8-bit NAND Flash.  
For an 8-bit NAND Flash p1e through p4e are column parities and p8e through p2048 are row parities.  
Similarly, the algorithm can be extended to a 16-bit NAND Flash. For a 16-bit NAND Flash p1e through  
p8e are column parities and p16e through p2048 are row parities. The software must ignore the unwanted  
parity bits if ECC is desired for less than 512 bytes of data. For example. p2048e and p2048o are not  
required for ECC on 256 bytes of data. Similarly, p1024e, p1024o, p2048e, and p2048o are not required  
for ECC on 128 bytes of data.

Architecture  
2.5.6.7  
NAND Flash Status Register (NANDFSR)  
The NAND Flash status register (NANDFSR) indicates the raw status of the EM_WAITn pin. The  
EM_WAITn pin should be connected to the NAND Flash device's R/B signal, so that it indicates whether  
or not the NAND Flash device is busy. During a read, the R/B signal will transition and remain low while  
the NAND Flash retrieves the data requested. Once the R/B signal transitions high, the requested data is  
ready and should be read by the EMIF. During a write/program operation, the R/B signal transitions and  
remains low while the NAND Flash is programming the Flash with the data it has received from the EMIF.  
Once the R/B signal transitions high, the data has been written to the Flash and the next phase of the  
transaction may be performed. From this explanation, you can see that the NAND Flash status register is  
useful to the software for indicating the status of the NAND Flash device and determining when to proceed  
to the next phase of a NAND Flash operation.  
When a rising edge occurs on the EM_WAITn pin, the EMIF sets the WR (wait rise) bit in the EMIF  
interrupt raw register (EIRR). Therefore, the EMIF wait rise interrupt may be used to indicate the status of  
the NAND Flash device. The WPn bit in the asynchronous wait cycle configuration register (AWCCR)  
does not affect the NAND Flash status register (NANDFSR) or the WRn bit in EIRR. See Section 2.5.11.1  
for more a detailed description of the wait rise interrupt.  
2.5.6.8  
Interfacing to a Non-CE Don't Care NAND Flash  
As explained in Section 2.5.6.4, the EMIF does not support NAND Flash devices that require the chip  
select signal to remain low during the tR time for a read. One way to work around this limitation is to use a  
GPIO pin to drive the CE signal of the NAND Flash device. If this work around is implemented, software  
will configure the selected GPIO to be low, then begin the NAND Flash operation, starting with the  
command phase. Once the NAND Flash operation has completed the software will configure the selected  
GPIO to be high. See Section 3 for more details on the GPIO workaround.  
2.5.7  
Interfacing to a TI DSP HPI  
The EMIF supports connecting as a host to a TI DSP HPI interface. When connecting to a TI DSP HPI  
interface, the EMIF must be configured for normal mode operation. Figure 10 shows the connection  
diagram.

Architecture  
2.5.8  
Extended Wait Mode and the EM_WAIT Pin  
The Extended Wait mode is a mode in which the external asynchronous device may assert control over  
the length of the strobe period. The Extended Wait mode can be entered by setting the EW bit in the  
asynchronous configuration register (ACFGn). When the EW bit is set, the EMIF monitors the  
EM_WAIT[5:2] pins to determine if the attached device wishes to extend the strobe period of the current  
access cycle beyond the programmed number of clock cycles.  
When the EMIF detects that the EM_WAIT pin has been asserted, it will begin inserting extra strobe  
cycles into the operation until the EM_WAIT pin is deactivated by the external device. The EMIF will then  
return to the last cycle of the programmed strobe period and the operation will proceed as usual from this  
point. Refer to the device-specific data manual for details on the timing requirements of the EM_WAIT  
signal.  
The EM_WAIT pin cannot be used to extend the strobe period indefinitely. The programmable MEWC bit  
in the asynchronous wait cycle configuration register (AWCCR) determines the maximum number of EMIF  
clock cycles the strobe period may be extended beyond the programmed length. When the number of  
cycles programmed in the MEWC bit expires, the EMIF proceeds to the hold period of the operation  
regardless of the state of the EM_WAIT pin. The EMIF can also generate an interrupt upon expiration of  
this counter. See Section 2.5.11.1 for details on enabling this interrupt.  
For the EMIF to function properly in the Extended Wait mode, the WPn bit in AWCCR must be  
programmed to match the polarity of the attached device. When the WPn bit is in its reset state of 1, the  
EMIF will insert wait cycles when the EM_WAITn pin is sampled high; when the WPn bit is cleared to 0,  
the EMIF will insert wait cycles only when the EM_WAITn pin is sampled low. This programmability allows  
for a glueless connection to larger variety of asynchronous devices.  
Finally, a restriction is placed on the setup and strobe period timing parameters when operating in  
Extended Wait mode. Specifically, the sum of the W_SETUP and W_STROBE fields must be greater than  
4, and the sum of the R_SETUP and R_STROBE fields must be greater than 4 for the EMIF to recognize  
the EM_WAIT pin has been asserted. The W_SETUP, W_STROBE, R_SETUP, and R_STROBE fields  
are in ACFGn.  
2.5.9  
Data Bus Parking  
The EMIF always drives the data bus to the previous write data value when it is idle. This feature is called  
data bus parking. Only when the EMIF issues a read command to the external memory does it stop  
driving the data bus. After the EMIF latches the last read data, it immediately parks the data bus again.  
2.5.10 Reset and Initialization Considerations  
The EMIF and its registers will be reset when any of the following events occur:  
1. The RESET pin on the device is asserted  
2. The EMIF is placed in reset by the Power and Sleep Controller.  
When a reset occurs, the EMIF will immediately abandon any access request that is in progress and reset  
all registers and internal logic to their default state.  
Following device power up and deassertion of the RESET pin, the internal clock to the EMIF is turned on  
and the EMIF memory-mapped registers are programmed to their default values.

Architecture  
2.5.11 Interrupt Support  
The EMIF has a single interrupt source (Table 13) mapped to the ARM interrupt controller. For more  
information on the ARM interrupt controller (AINTC), see the TMS320DM646x DMSoC ARM Subsystem  
Reference Guide (SPRUEP9).

EMIFAINT  
EMIF  
The EMIF supports a single interrupt to the CPU. Section 2.5.11.1 details the generation and internal  
masking of EMIF interrupts and Section 2.5.11.2 describes how the EMIF interrupts are sent to the CPU.  
2.5.11.1 Interrupt Events  
There are two conditions that may cause the EMIF to generate an interrupt to the CPU. These two  
conditions are:  
A rising edge on the EM_WAIT signal (wait rise interrupt)  
An asynchronous time out  
The wait rise interrupt is not affected by the WPn bit in the asynchronous wait cycle configuration register  
(AWCCR). The asynchronous time out interrupt condition occurs when the attached asynchronous device  
fails to deassert the EM_WAIT pin within the number of cycles defined by the MEWC bit in AWCCR.  
Only when the interrupt is enabled by setting the appropriate bit (WRMSETn or ATMSET) in the EMIF  
interrupt mask set register (EIMSR) to 1, will the interrupt be sent to the CPU. Once enabled, the interrupt  
may be disabled by writing a 1 to the corresponding bit in the EMIF interrupt mask clear register (EIMCR).  
The bit fields in both the EIMSR and EIMCR may be used to indicate whether the interrupt is enabled.  
When the interrupt is enabled, the corresponding bit field in both the EIMSR and EIMCR will have a value  
of 1; when the interrupt is disabled, the corresponding bit field will have a value of 0.  
The EMIF interrupt raw register (EIRR) and the EMIF interrupt mask register (EIMR) indicate the status of  
each interrupt. The appropriate bit (WRn or AT) in EIRR is set when the interrupt condition occurs,  
whether or not the interrupt has been enabled. Whereas, the appropriate bit (WRMn or ATM) in EIMR is  
set only when the interrupt condition occurs and the interrupt is enabled. Writing a 1 to the bit in EIRR  
clears the EIRR bit as well as the corresponding bit in EIMR.  
Table 14 contains a brief summary of the interrupt status and control bit fields. See Section 4 for complete  
details on the register fields.

Architecture  
2.5.11.2 Interrupt Multiplexing  
The EMIF interrupt is supported by both the ARM and DSP. The interrupt is not multiplexed with another  
interrupt and is therefore always available.  
2.5.12 Program Execution  
Since the EMIF does not have byte enable or data mask pins, byte accesses to memory are not  
supported when the data bus width is equal to 16 bits. When performing data accesses on a 16-bit bus,  
this may be worked around by performing a write modify read back operation. When executing code from  
the EMIF, the bus width must be configured to be an 8-bit data bus.  
2.5.13 Power Management  
Power dissipation to the EMIF may be managed by gating the input clock to the EMIF off. The input clock  
is turned off outside of the EMIF through the use of the Power and Sleep Controller (PSC). When the PSC  
sends a clock stop request to the EMIF, the EMIF will complete pending transfers before issuing a clock  
stop acknowledge, allowing the PSC to stop the clock. See the TMS320DM646x DMSoC ARM Subsystem  
Reference Guide (SPRUEP9) for more information.  
2.5.14 Emulation Considerations  
The operation of the EMIF is not affected when a breakpoint is reached or an emulation halt occurs.

Use Cases  
The EMIF allows a high degree of programmability for shaping asynchronous accesses. As previously  
stated, the shape and duration of the asynchronous access is determined by controlling the widths of the  
SETUP, STROBE, HOLD, and turnaround periods. The widths of these periods are configured by  
programming the asynchronous configuration register (ACFGn) for the corresponding chip select space.  
See Section 2.5.3 and Section 4.3 for more information.  
The programmability inherent to the EMIF, provides the EMIF with the flexibility to interface with a variety  
of asynchronous memory types. By programming the W_SETUP/R_SETUP, W_STROBE/R_STROBE,  
W_HOLD/R_HOLD, TA, and ASIZE fields in ACFGn, the EMIF can be configured to meet the data sheet  
specification for most asynchronous memory devices.  
This section presents examples describing how to interface the EMIF to asynchronous SRAM and NAND  
Flash devices.  
3.1 Interfacing to Asynchronous SRAM (ASRAM)  
The following example describes how to interface the EMIF to the Toshiba TC55V16100FT-12 device.  
3.1.1  
Connecting to ASRAM  
Figure 11 shows how to connect the EMIF to the TC55V16100FT-12 device. Since the EMIF does not  
include data mask or byte enable signals, the LB and UB signals of the ASRAM must be tied high.

Use Cases  
3.1.2  
Meeting AC Timing Requirements for ASRAM  
When configuring the EMIF to interface to ASRAM, you must consider the AC timing requirements of the  
ASRAM as well as the AC timing requirements of the EMIF. These can be found in the data sheet for  
each respective device. The read and write asynchronous cycles are programmed separately in the  
asynchronous configuration register (ACFGn).  
For a read access, Table 15 to Table 17 list the AC timing specifications that must be considered.

Read Cycle time  
Figure 12 shows an asynchronous read access and describes how the EMIF and ASRAM AC timing  
requirements work together to define the values for R_SETUP, R_STROBE, and R_HOLD.  
From Figure 12, the following equations may be derived. tcyc is the period at which the EMIF operates. The  
R_SETUP, R_STROBE, and R_HOLD fields are programmed in terms of EMIF cycles where as the data  
sheet specifications are typically given in nano seconds. This explains the presence of tcyc in the  
denominator of the following equations. A minus 1 is included in the equations because each field in  
ACFGn is programmed in terms of EMIF clock cycles, minus 1 cycle. For example, R_SETUP is equal to  
R_SETUP width in EMIF clock cycles minus 1 cycle.

The EMIF offers an additional parameter, TA, that defines the turnaround time between read and write  
cycles. This parameter protects against the situation when the output turn-off time of the memory is longer  
than the time it takes to start the next write cycle. If this is the case, the EMIF will drive data at the same  
time as the memory, causing contention on the bus. By examining Figure 12, the equation for TA can be  
derived as:

3.1.3  
Taking Into Account PCB Delays  
The equations described in Section 3.1.2 are for the ideal case, when board design does not contribute  
delays. Board characteristics, such as impedance, loading, length, number of nodes, etc., affect how the  
device driver behaves. Signals driven by the EMIF will be delayed when they reach the ASRAM and  
conversely. Table 19 lists the delays shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15 due to PCB affects. The PCB  
delays are board specific and must be estimated or determined though the use of IBIS modeling. The  
signals denoted (ASRAM) are the signals seen at the ASRAM. For example, EM_CS represents the signal  
at the EMIF and EM_CS (ASRAM) represents the delayed signal seen at the ASRAM.

Use Cases  
Since the value of the W_SETUP/R_SETUP, W_STROBE/R_STROBE, W_HOLD/R_HOLD, and TA fields  
are equal to EMIF clock cycles minus 1 cycle, the A2CR should be configured as in Table 23. In this  
example, the EM_WAIT signal is not implemented; therefore, the asynchronous wait cycle configuration  
register (AWCCR) does not need to be programmed.

3.2 Interfacing to NAND Flash  
The following example explains how to interface the EMIF to the Hynix HY27UA081G1M NAND Flash  
device. Section 2.5.6.2 describes how to connect the EMIF to the HY27UA081G1M.  
3.2.1  
Margin Requirements  
The Flash interface is typically a low-performance interface compared to synchronous memory interfaces,  
high-speed asynchronous memory interfaces, and high-speed FIFO interfaces. For this reason, this  
example gives little attention to minimizing the amount of margin required when programming the  
asynchronous timing parameters. The approach used requires approximately 10 ns of margin on all  
parameters, which is not significant for a 100-ns read or write cycle. For additional details on minimizing  
the amount of margin, see the ASRAM example given in Section 3.1.

Use Cases  
3.2.2  
Meeting AC Timing Requirements for NAND Flash  
When configuring the EMIF to interface to NAND Flash, you must consider the AC timing requirements of  
the NAND Flash as well as the AC timing requirements of the EMIF. These can be found in the data sheet  
for each respective device. The read and write asynchronous cycles are programmed separately in the  
asynchronous configuration register (ACFGn).  
As described in Section 2.5.6, a NAND Flash access cycle is composed of a command, address, and data  
phases. The EMIF will not automatically generate these three phases to complete a NAND access with  
one transfer request. To complete a NAND access cycle, multiple single asynchronous access cycles  
must be completed by the EMIF. The command and address phases of a NAND Flash access cycle are  
asynchronous writes performed by the EMIF where as the data phase can be either an asynchronous  
write or a read depending on whether the NAND Flash is being programmed or read.  
Therefore, to determine the required EMIF configuration to interface to the NAND Flash for a read  
operation, Table 25 and Table 26 list the AC timing parameters that must be considered.

Use Cases  
From Figure 16, the following equations may be derived. tcyc is the period at which the EMIF operates. The  
R_SETUP, R_STROBE, and R_HOLD fields are programmed in terms of EMIF cycles where as the data  
sheet specifications are typically given is nano seconds. This is explains the presence of tcyc in the  
denominator of the following equations. A minus 1 is included in the equations because each field in  
ACFGn is programmed in terms of EMIF clock cycles, minus 1 cycle. For example, R_SETUP is equal to  
R_SETUP width in EMIF clock cycles minus 1 cycle.

The EMIF offers an additional parameter, TA, that defines the turnaround time between read and write  
cycles. This parameter protects against the situation when the output turn-off time of the memory is longer  
than the time it takes to start the next write cycle. If this is the case, the EMIF will drive data at the same  
time as the memory, causing contention on the bus. By examining Figure 16, the equation for TA can be  
derived as:

Since the value of the W_SETUP/R_SETUP, W_STROBE/R_STROBE, W_HOLD/R_HOLD, and TA fields  
are equal to EMIF clock cycles minus 1 cycle, the A1CR should be configured as in Table 30. In this  
example, although the EM_WAIT signal is connected to the R/B signal of the NAND Flash the Extended

does not need to be programmed.

Registers  
The external memory interface (EMIF) is controlled by programming its internal memory-mapped registers  
(MMRs). Table 32 lists the memory-mapped registers for the EMIF. See the device-specific data manual  
for the memory address of these registers. All other register offset addresses not listed in Table 32 should  
be considered as reserved locations and the register contents should not be modified.  
NOTE: The EMIF MMRs only support word (4 byte) accesses. Performing a byte (8 bit) or halfword  
(16 bit) write to a register results in unknown behavior.

4.3 Asynchronous n Configuration Registers (A1CR-A4CR)  
The asynchronous configuration register (ACFGn) is used to configure the shaping of the address and  
control signals during an access to asynchronous memory. It is also used to program the width of  
asynchronous interface and to select from various modes of operation. This register can be written prior to  
any transfer, and any asynchronous transfer following the write will use the new configuration. The ACFGn  
is shown in Figure 22 and described in Table 35. There are four ACFGns. Each chip select space has a  
dedicated ACFGn. This allows each chip select space to be programmed independently to interface to  
different asynchronous memory types.

4.4 EMIF Interrupt Raw Register (EIRR)  
The EMIF interrupt raw register (EIRR) is used to monitor and clear the EMIF’s hardware-generated  
interrupts. The bits in EIRR are set when an interrupt condition occurs, regardless of the status of the  
EMIF interrupt mask set register (EIMSR) and EMIF interrupt mask clear register (EIMCR). Writing a 1 to  
a bit clears the bit and the corresponding bit in the EMIF interrupt mask register (EIMR). The EIRR is  
shown in Figure 23 and described in Table 36.

4.5 EMIF Interrupt Mask Register (EIMR)  
Similar to the EMIF interrupt raw register (EIRR), the EMIF interrupt mask register (EIMR) is used to  
monitor and clear the status of the EMIF’s hardware-generated interrupts. The main difference between  
the two registers is that when the bits in EIMR are set, an active-high pulse is sent to the CPU interrupt  
controller. Also, the bits in EIMR are only set to 1, if the associated interrupt has been enabled in the  
EMIF interrupt mask set register (EIMSR). The EIMR is shown in Figure 24 and described in Table 37.

The EMIF interrupt mask set register (EIMSR) is used to enable the interrupts. If a bit is set to 1, the  
corresponding bit in the EMIF interrupt mask register (EIMR) is set and an interrupt is generated when the  
associated interrupt condition occurs. If a bit is cleared to 0, the the corresponding bit in EIMR will always

sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.  
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard  
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where  
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.  
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and  
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide  
adequate design and operating safeguards.  
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,  
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information  
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a  
warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual  
property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.  
Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied  
by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive  
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional  
restrictions.  
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all  
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not  
responsible or liable for any such statements.  
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably  
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing  
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and  
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products  
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be  
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in  
such safety-critical applications.  
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are  
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military  
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at  
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.  
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are  
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated  
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
