TIMING SPECIFICATIONS
With the exception of DMAR3–0, IRQ3–0, TMR0E, and
FLAG3–0 (input only) pins, all ac timing for the ADSP-TS203S
processor is relative to a reference clock edge. Because input
setup/hold, output valid/hold, and output enable/disable times
are relative to a clock edge, the timing data for the
ADSP-TS203S processor has few calculated (formula-based)
values. For information on ac timing, see General AC Timing.
For information on link port transfer timing, see Link Port Low
Voltage, Differential-Signal (LVDS) Electrical Characteristics,
and Timing on Page 29.
General AC Timing
Timing is measured on signals when they cross the 1.25 V level
as described in Figure 13 on Page 28. All delays (in nanosec-
onds) are measured between the point that the first signal
reaches 1.25 V and the point that the second signal reaches
1.25 V.
The general ac timing data appears in Table 22 and Table 29. All
ac specifications are measured with the load specified in
Figure 34 on Page 36, and with the output drive strength set to
strength 4. In order to calculate the output valid and hold times
for different load conditions and/or output drive strengths, refer
to Figure 35 on Page 36 through Figure 42 on Page 38 (Rise and
Fall Time vs. Load Capacitance) and Figure 43 on Page 38 (Out-
put Valid vs. Load Capacitance and Drive Strength).
The ac asynchronous timing data for the IRQ3–0
, DMAR3–0,
FLAG3–0, and TMR0E pins appears in Table 21.

These input pins have Schmitt triggers and therefore do not need to be synchronized to a clock reference.

This pin is a strap option. During reset, an internal resistor pulls the pin low.

CCLK is the internal processor clock or instruction cycle time. The period of this clock is equal to the system clock period (t
SCLK
) divided by the system clock ratio
(SCLKRAT2–0). For information on available part numbers for different internal processor clock rates, see the Ordering Guide on Page 47.
