Figure 18: Execution of 4BYTEADDREN For Enabling 4-byte Addressing Mode
This figure shows an example of the latency when the Altera ASMI Parallel IP core is performing the 4-
byte addressing operation. This figure does not reflect the true processing time.
4-byte Addressing Exit Operation for an EPCQ256/EPCQ-L256 or Larger Devices
The
ex4b_addr
input port allow you to exit the 4-byte addressing operation. These input ports are
available when you use an EPCQ256/EPCQ-L256 or larger devices.
Note: The 4-byte addressing exit operation is supported for EPCQ256/EPCQ-L256 or larger devices only,
so you must enable 4-byte addressing when you use an EPCQ256/EPCQ-L256 or larger devices.
To exit 4-byte addressing mode, pull the
wren
signal high, followed by at least one clock cycle. If
wren
signal is zero, the 4-byte addressing mode exit operation will not be carried out even though the
ex4b_addr
is high. After the IP core receives the command, the IP core asserts the busy signal to indicate
that the exit operation is in progress.
