AC Switching Specifications
The following pages list some of the preliminary AC Specifi-
cations for the NS486SXL. All parameters are listed in alpha-
betical order according to their Symbol.
The Tables consist of the following:
Parameter— A short description of the specification being
documented.
Symbol—
A quick reference between the timing dia-
gram and the Table entries.
Formula—
An equation, which in addition to the Mini-
mum and Maximum Specifications can be
used to determine the actual timing provided
at any operating frequency.
Min—
Minimum Specification when added to the
value produced by the formula.
Max—
Maximum Specification when added to the
value produced by the formula.
How to calculate the actual specification at a given fre-
quency:
In the formula column, one will see many formulae, which
contain the variable T. The T represents one period (or one
T-state) of the CPU Clock. So if the CPU is running at
25 MHz, T is equavalent to 40 ns; similarly if the CPU is run-
ning at 20 MHz, T is equavalent to 50 ns.
EXAMPLE: Calculate the minimum guaranteed Column Ad-
dress Setup Time.
At 25 MHz Formula + Min Spec
=
(0.5T) + (−20 ns)
=
0.5 (40 ns) + (−20 ns)
=
20 ns - 20 ns
= 0 ns
At 20 MHz Formula + Min Spec
=
(0.5T) + (−20 ns)
=
0.5 (50 ns) + (−20 ns)
=
25 ns - 20 ns
= 5 ns
As the frequency varies, so will many of the specifications.
One should always calculate the specification based on the
CPU’s operating frequency.
