29.11.1 READ_MODE
Setting the READ_MODE to 1 indicates to the SMC that the NRD signal is responsible for turning off the tri-state buffers
of the external memory device. The Data Float Period then begins after the rising edge of the NRD signal and lasts
TDF_CYCLES MCK cycles.
When the read operation is controlled by the NCS signal (READ_MODE = 0), the TDF field gives the number of MCK
cycles during which the data bus remains busy after the rising edge of NCS.
Figure 29-20 illustrates the Data Float Period in NRD-controlled mode (READ_MODE =1), assuming a data float period
of 2 cycles (TDF_CYCLES = 2). Figure 29-21 shows the read operation when controlled by NCS (READ_MODE = 0) and
the TDF_CYCLES parameter equals 3.
