SPVS004D – MARCH 1990 – REVISED NOVEMBER 1993  
description  
The TMS34020 and the TMS34020A graphics processors are the second generation of an advanced  
high-performance CMOS 32-bit microprocessor optimized for graphics display systems. With a built-in  
instruction cache, the ability to simultaneously access memory and registers, and an instruction set designed  
to expedite raster graphics operations, the TMS34020 and TMS34020A provide user-programmable control of  
the CRT interface as well as the memory interface (both standard DRAM and multiport video RAM). The  
4-gigabit (512-megabyte) physical address space is addressable on bit boundaries using variable-width data  
fields (1 to 32 bits). Additional graphics addressing modes support 1-, 2-, 4-, 8-, 16- and 32-bit wide pixels.  
The information contained in this data sheet is applicable to both the TMS34020 and the TMS34020A, except  
that pertaining to clock stretch, which begins on page 21. Use of the term TMS34020 shall refer to both devices  
except where noted.  
architecture  
The TMS34020 is a CMOS 32-bit processor with hardware support for graphics operations such as PixBlts  
(raster ops) and curve-drawing algorithms. Also included is a complete set of general-purpose instructions with  
addressing modes tuned to support high-level languages. In addition to its ability to address a large external  
memory range, the TMS34020 contains 30 general-purpose 32-bit registers, a hardware stack pointer, and a  
512-byte instruction cache. On-chip functions include 64 programmable I/O registers that control CRT timing,  
input/output control, and parameters required by some instructions. The TMS34020 directly interfaces to  
dynamic RAMs and video RAMs and generates raster control signals. The TMS34020 can be configured to  
operate as a standalone processor, or it can be used as a graphics engine with a host system. The host interface  
provides a generalized communication port for any standard host processor. The TMS34020 also  
accommodates a multiprocessing or direct memory access (DMA) environment through the request/grant  
interface protocols. Virtual memory systems are supported through bus-fault detection and instruction  
continuation.  
The TMS34020 provides single-cycle execution of general-purpose instructions and most common integer  
arithmetic and Boolean operations from its instruction cache. Additionally, the TMS34020 incorporates a  
hardware barrel shifter that provides a single-state bidirectional shift-and-rotate function for 1 to 32 bits.  
The local-memory controller is designed to optimize memory-access operations. It also supports pipeline  
memory-write operations of variable-sized fields and allows memory access and instruction execution in  
parallel.  
The TMS34020 graphics processing hardware supports pixel and pixel-array processing capabilities for both  
monochrome and color systems at a variety of pixel sizes. The hardware incorporates two-operand and  
three-operand raster operations with Boolean and arithmetic operations, XY addressing, window clipping,  
window-checking operations, 1 to n bits-per-pixel transforms, transparency, and plane masking. The  
architecture further supports operations on single pixels (PIXT instructions) or on two-dimensional arrays of  
arbitrary size (PixBlts).  
The TMS34020’s flexible graphics processing capabilities allow software-based graphics algorithms without  
sacrificing performance. These algorithms include clipping to arbitrary window size, custom incremental curve  
drawing, two-operand raster operations, and masked two-operand raster operations.  
The TMS34020 provides for extensions to the basic architecture through the coprocessor interface. Special  
instructions and cycle timings are included to enhance data flow to coprocessors, such as the TMS34082  
floating-point unit, without requiring the coprocessor to decode the instruction stream, generate system  
addresses, or move data for the coprocessor through the TMS34020.

Terminal Functions  
LOCAL MEMORY INTERFACE  
NAME  
ALTCH  
I/O  
DESCRIPTION  
O
Addresslatch. The high-to-low transitions of ALTCH can be used to capture the address and status present of the LAD  
signals. A transparent latch (such as a 74ALS373) maintains the current address and status as long as ALTCH remains  
low.  
BUSFLT  
DDIN  
I
Bus fault. External logic asserts BUSFLT high to the TMS34020 to indicate that an error or fault has occurred on the  
current bus cycle. BUSFLT is also used with LRDY to generate externally requested bus cycle retries so that the entire  
memory address is presented again on the LAD pins. In emulation mode, BUSFLT is used for write-protecting mapped  
memory (by disabling CAS outputs for the current cycle).  
O
O
Data bus direction in enable. This active-high output is used to drive the active-high output-enables on bidirectional  
transceivers (such as the 74ALS623). The transceivers buffer data input and output on the LAD0LAD31 pins when  
the TMS34020 is interfaced to several memories.  
DDOUT  
Data bus direction output-enable. This active-low signal drives the active-low output-enables on bidirectional  
transceivers (such as the 74ALS623). The transceivers buffer data input and output on the LAD0LAD31 pins.  
LAD0LAD31  
I/O 32-bit multiplexed local address/data bus. At the beginning of a memory cycle, the word address is output on  
LAD4LAD31 and the cycle status is output on LAD0LAD3. After the address is presented, LAD0LAD31 are used  
for transferring data within the TMS34020 system. LAD0 is the LSB and LAD31 is the MSB.  
LRDY  
I
Local ready. External circuitry drives this signal low to inhibit the TMS34020 from completing a local-memory cycle it  
has initiated. While LRDY remains low, the TMS34020 will wait unless the TMS34020 loses bus priority or is given an  
external RETRY request (through the BUSFLT signal). Wait states are generated in increments of one full LCLK1 cycle.  
LRDY can be driven low to extend local-memory read and write cycles, VRAM serial-data-register transfer cycles, and  
DRAM refresh cycles. During internal cycles, the TMS34020 ignores LRDY.  
PGMD  
I
I
Page mode. The memory decode logic asserts this signal low if the currently addressed memory supports burst  
(page-mode) accesses. Burst accesses occur as a series of CAS cycles for a single RAS cycle to memory. LRDY is  
used with BUSFLT to describe the cycle termination status for a memory cycle. PGMD is also used in emulation mode  
for mapping memory.  
SIZE16  
Bus size. The memory decode logic can pull this signal low if the currently addressed memory or port supports only  
16-bit transfers. SIZE16 can also be used to determine which 16 bits of the data bus are used for a data transfer.  
In emulation mode, SIZE16 is used to select the size of mapped memory.  
DRAM AND VRAM CONTROL  
CAMD  
I
Column-address mode. This input dynamically shifts the column address on the RCA0RCA12 bus to allow the  
mixing of DRAM and VRAM address matrices using the same multiplexed address RCA0RCA12 signals.  
CAS0CAS3  
RAS  
O
O
O
4 column-address strobes. The CAS outputs drive the CAS inputs of DRAMs and VRAMs. These signals strobe the  
column address on RCA0RCA12 to the memory. The four CAS strobes provide byte-write access to the memory.  
Row-address strobe. The RAS output drives the RAS inputs of DRAMs and VRAMs. This signal strobes the row  
address on RCA0RCA12 to memory.  
RCA0RCA12  
13 multiplexed row-address/column-address signals. At the beginning of a memory-access cycle, the row address  
for DRAMs is present on RCA0RCA12. The row address contains the most significant address bits for the memory.  
As the cycle progresses, the memory column address is placed on RCA0RCA12. The addresses that are actually  
output during row and column times depend on the memory configuration (set by RCM0 and RCM1 in the CONFIG  
register) and the state of CAMD during the access. RCA0 is the LSB and RCA12 is the MSB.  
SF  
O
O
O
Special-function pin. This is the special-function signal to 1M VRAMs that allows the use of block write, load write  
mask, load color mask, and write using write mask. This signal is also used to differentiate instructions and addresses  
for the coprocessor as part of the coprocessor interface.  
TR/QE  
WE  
Transfer/output-enable. This signal drives the TR/QE input of VRAMs. During a local-memory read cycle, TR/QE  
functions as an active-low output-enable to gate from memory to LAD0LAD31. During special VRAM function cycles,  
TR/QE controls the type of cycle that is performed.  
Write-enable. The active low WE output drives the WE inputs of DRAMs and VRAMs. WE can also be used as the  
active-low write-enable to static memories and other devices connected to the TMS34020 local interface. During a  
local-memoryread cycle, WE remains inactive high while CAS is strobed active low. During a local-memory write cycle,  
WE is strobed active low before CAS is. During VRAM serial-data-register transfer cycles, the state of WE at the falling  
edge of RAS controls the direction of the transfer.

Terminal Functions (Continued)  
NAME  
I/O  
DESCRIPTION  
HOST INTERFACE  
HA5HA31  
I
27 host-address input signals. A host can access a long word by placing the address on these lines. HA5HA31  
correspond to the LAD5LAD31 signals that output the address to the local memory.  
HBS0HBS3  
HCS  
I
I
4 host byte selects. The byte selects identify which bytes within the long word are being selected.  
Host chip select. A host drives this signal low to latch the current host address present on HA5HA31 and the host  
byte selects on HBS0HBS3. This signal also enables host access cycles to the TMS34020 I/O registers or local  
memory. During the low-to-high transition of RESET, the level on the HCS input determines whether the TMS34020  
is halted (HCS is high for host-present mode) or whether it begins executing its reset service routine (HCS is low  
for self-bootstrap mode).  
HDST  
O
Host data-latch strobe. The rising edge of this signal latches data from the TMS34020 local address space to the  
external host data latch on host read accesses. It can be used in conjunction with HRDY to indicate that data is valid  
in the external data latch.  
HINT  
HOE  
O
O
Host Interrupt. This signal allows the TMS34020 to interrupt a host by setting the INTOUT bit in the HSTCTLL I/O  
register. This signal can also be used to interrupt the host if a BUSFLT or RETRY occurs due to a host-access cycle.  
Host data-latch output-enable. This signal enables data from host data latches to the TMS34020 local address  
space on host-write cycles. HOE can be used in conjunction with HRDY to indicate data has been written to memory  
from the external data latch.  
HRDY  
O
Host ready. This signal is normally low and goes high to indicate that the TMS34020 is ready to complete a  
host-initiated read or write cycle. If the TMS34020 is ready to accept the access request, HRDY is driven high and  
thehost proceeds with the access. A host can use HRDY logically combined with HDST and HOEtodeterminewhen  
the local bus-access cycles have completed.  
HREAD  
I
I
Host read strobe. This signal is driven low during a read request from a host processor. This notifies the TMS34020  
that the host is requesting access to the I/O registers or to local memory. HREAD should not be asserted at the same  
time that HWRITE is asserted.  
HWRITE  
Host write strobe. This signal is driven low to indicate a write request by a host processor. This notifies the  
TMS34020 that a write request is pending. The rising edge of HWRITE is used to indicate that the host has latched  
data to be written in the external data transceivers. HWRITE should not be asserted at the same time HREAD is  
asserted.  
SYSTEM CONTROL  
CLKIN  
I
O
I
Clock input. This system input clock generates the LCLK1 and LCLK2 outputs, to which all processor functions in  
the TMS34020 are synchronous. A separate asynchronous input clock (VCLK) controls the video timing and video  
registers.  
LCLK1, LCLK2  
LINT1, LINT2  
Local output clocks. These two clocks are 90 degrees out of phase with each other. They provide convenient  
synchronouscontrolofexternalcircuitrytotheinternaltiming. AllsignalsoutputfromtheTMS34020(excepttheCRT  
timing signals) are synchronous to these clocks.  
Local interrupt requests. Interrupts from external devices are transmitted to the TMS34020 on LINT1 and LINT2.  
Each local interrupt signal activates the request for one of two interrupt-request levels. An external device generates  
an interrupt request by driving the appropriate interrupt-request pin to its active-low state. The signal should remain  
low until the TMS34020 recognizes it. These signals can be applied asynchronously to the TMS34020; they are  
synchronized internally before use.  
RESET  
I
System reset. During normal operation, RESET is driven low to reset the TMS34020. When RESET is asserted  
low, the TMS34020’s internal registers are set to an initial known state and all output and bidirectional pins are driven  
either to inactive levels or to the high-impedance state. The TMS34020’s behavior following reset depends on the  
level of the HCS input just before the low-to-high transition of RESET. If HCS is low, the TMS34020 begins executing  
the instructions pointed to by the reset vector. If HCS is high, the TMS34020 is halted until a host processor writes  
a 0 to the HLT bit in the HSTCTLL register.

architecture (continued)  
register files  
Boolean, arithmetic, pixel-processing, byte, and field-move instructions operate on data within the  
general-purpose register files. The TMS34020 contains two register files of fifteen 32-bit registers and a system  
stack pointer (SP). The SP is addressed in both register file A and register file B as a sixteenth register. Transfers  
between registers and memory are facilitated via a complete set of field-move instructions with selectable field  
sizes.  
The 15 general-purpose registers in register file A are used for high-level language support and  
assembly-language programming. The 15 registers in register file B are dedicated to special functions during  
PixBlts and other pixel operations but can be used as general-purpose registers at other times.  
stack pointer (SP)  
The stack pointer is a dedicated 32-bit internal register that points to the top of the system stack.  
program counter (PC)  
The TMS34020’s 32-bit program counter register points to the next instruction-stream word to be fetched. Since  
instruction words are aligned to 16-bit boundaries, the four LSBs of the PC are always zero.  
instruction cache  
An on-chip cache contains 512 bytes of RAM and provides unimpeded access to instructions. The cache  
operates automatically and is transparent to software. The cache is divided into four 128-byte segments.  
Associated with each segment is a 22-bit segment start address register (SSA) to identify the addresses in

memory corresponding to the current contents of the cache segment. Each cache segment is further partitioned  
into eight subsegments of four long words (32 bits) each. Each subsegment has associated with it a present  
(P) flag to indicate whether the subsegment contains valid data.  
ThecacheisloadedonlywhenaninstructionrequestedbytheexecutionsectionoftheTMS34020isnotalready  
contained within the cache. A least-recently-used (LRU) algorithm determines which of the four segments of  
the cache is overwritten with new data. For this purpose, an internal four-by-two LRU stack keeps track of cache  
usage. Although the cache is loaded so as to always fill a subsegment completely, not all eight subsegments  
within a segment are necessarily filled (this is dependent upon the instruction stream).  
status register  
Thestatusregister(ST)isaspecial-purpose32-bitregisterdedicatedtostatuscodessetbytheresultsofimplicit  
and explicit compare operations and parameters used to specify the length and behavior of fields 0 and 1.  
In addition, during an interrupt, the IX bit in the ST placed on the stack provides indication that execution of an  
interruptible instruction (PIXBLT, FILL or LINE) was halted to service the interrupt.  
The single-step bit causes a TRAP to the single-step vector (located at address FFFF FBE0h) after the  
execution of one instruction when the bit is set high. Normal program execution occurs when the bit is set low.  
fields, bytes, words, long words, pixels, and pixel arrays  
The TMS34020 outputs a 28-bit address on LAD4LAD31, which is valid at the falling edge of ALTCH. The most  
significant 27 bits (LAD5LAD31) define a 32-bit long word of physical memory; logically, however, the  
TMS34020viewsmemorydataasfieldsaddressableatthebitlevel. Theleastsignificantbitofthe28-bitaddress  
(LAD4) is used to select the odd or even word when accessing 16-bit memories (indicated by SIZE16 asserted  
low). Primitive data types supported by the TMS34020 include bytes, words, long words, pixels, two  
independent fields of from 1 to 32 bits, and user-defined pixel arrays.  
Words and long words, respectively, refer to 16- and 32-bit values that are aligned on 32-bit boundaries.  
The two independent fields are referenced as field 0 and field 1. The attributes of these fields (field size and sign  
extension within a register) are defined in the status register as FS0, FE0, FS1, and FE1. Fields 0 and 1 are  
specified independently to be signed or unsigned and from 1 to 32 bits in length. Bytes are special 8-bit cases  
of the field data type, while pixels are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 bits in length. In general, fields (including bytes) can  
start and terminate on arbitrary bit boundaries; however, pixels must pack evenly into 32-bit long words.  
pixel operations  
Pixel arrays are two-dimensional data types of user-defined width, length, pixel depth (number of bits per pixel),  
andpitch(distancebetweenrows). Apixelorpixelarraycanbeaccessedbymeansofeitheritsmemoryaddress  
or its XY coordinates. Transfers of individual pixels or pixel blocks are influenced by the pixel-processing,  
transparency, window-checking, plane-masking, pixel-masking, or corner-adjustment operations selected. For  
further information, see the TMS34020 User’s Guide, literature number SPVU019.  
transparency  
Transparencyisamechanismthatallowssurroundingpixelsinanarraytobespecifiedasinvisible. Thisisuseful  
for ensuring that only the object and not the rectangle surrounding it are written to the display. The TMS34020

SPVS004D – MARCH 1990 – REVISED NOVEMBER 1993  
I/O registers  
The TMS34020 contains an on-chip block of sixty-four 16-bit locations (mapped into the TMS34020’s memory  
address space) that are used for I/O control registers. Eight of these are used by the host interface logic and  
are not available to the user. Forty-seven I/O registers control parameters necessary to configure the operation  
and report status of the following interfaces:  
Host interface.  
Local memory.  
Video timing.  
Screen refresh.  
External interrupts.  
Internal interrupts.  
host interface registers  
The host interface registers (HSTDATA, HSTADRL, HSTADRH, HSTCTLL, and HSTCTLH) are provided to  
facilitate communications between the TMS34020 and a host processor and maintain compatibility with the  
TMS34010. The registers are mapped into five of the I/O locations accessible to the TMS34020.  
Two of these registers (HSTCTLL and HSTCTLH) are used to provide control by the host. This control consists  
of passing of interrupt requests, flushing the instruction cache, halting the TMS34020, transmitting a  
nonmaskableinterruptrequesttotheTMS34020, enablingemulationinterrupts, andsettinghost-accessmodes  
and configurations.  
The other three registers are simple read/write registers to allow the TMS34020 software to leave addresses  
for the host at a known location and allow compatibility with some TMS34010 software.  
memory interface control registers  
Some of the I/O registers are used to control various local memory interface functions, including:  
Frequency of DRAM refresh cycles.  
Masking (read/write protection) of individual color planes.  
DRAM row/column addressing configuration.  
Accessing mode (big endian/little endian).  
Bus fault and retry recovery.  
video timing and screen refresh  
Twenty-eight I/O registers are dedicated to video timing and screen refresh functions. The TMS34020 can be  
configured to drive composite sync or separate sync displays.  
In composite mode, the TMS34020 can be set to extract VSYNC and HSYNC from an external CSYNC, or it  
can be used to generate CSYNC from separate VSYNC and HSYNC inputs. Internally, the TMS34020 can be  
set to preset the horizontal and vertical counts on receipt of an external sync signal. This allows compensation  
for any combination of internal and external delays that occur in the video synchronization process. The  
HCOUNT register is loaded from SETHCNT by an external HSYNC, VCOUNT is loaded from SETVCNT on an  
external VSYNC, and an external CSYNC loads both HCOUNT and VCOUNT from SETHCNT and SETVCNT,  
respectively.  
The TMS34020 directly supports multiport video RAMs (VRAMs) by generating the serial data register transfer  
cycles necessary to refresh the display. The memory locations from which the display information is taken, as  
well as the number of horizontal scan lines displayed between serial data register transfer cycles, are  
programmable.

SPVS004D – MARCH 1990 – REVISED NOVEMBER 1993  
The TMS34020 supports various display resolutions and either interlaced or noninterlaced video. The  
TMS34020 can optionally be programmed to synchronize to externally generated sync signals so that images  
created by the TMS34020 may be superimposed upon images created externally. The external sync mode can  
also be used to synchronize the video signals generated by two or more TMS34020s in a multiple-TMS34020  
graphics system.  
CPU control registers  
Five of the I/O registers (CONVDP, CONVMP, CONVSP, CONTROL, and PSIZE) provide CPU control to  
configure the TMS34020 for operation with specific characteristics. These characteristics include pitches for  
pixel transfers, window-checking mode, Boolean or arithmetic pixel-processing operation, transparency mode,  
PixBlt direction control, and pixel size.  
interrupt interface registers  
Two dedicated I/O registers (INTENB and INTPEND) monitor and mask interrupt requests to the TMS34020,  
including two externally generated interrupts and three internally generated interrupts. An internal interrupt  
request can be generated on one of the following conditions.  
Window violation: an attempt has been made to write a pixel to a location inside or outside a specified  
window boundary.  
Host interrupt: the host processor has set the interrupt-request bit in the host control register.  
Display interrupt: a specified horizontal line in the frame has been displayed on the screen.  
Bus fault.  
Single-step emulator.  
A nonmaskable interrupt occurs when the host processor sets a control bit in the host interface register (NMI  
in HSTCTLH). The host-initiated interrupt is associated with a mode bit (NMIM in HSTCTLH) that enables and  
disables saving of the processor state on the stack when the interrupt occurs. This is useful if the host wishes  
to use the host interrupt before releasing the TMS34020 to execute instructions (i.e., before the stack pointer  
is initialized). The TMS34020 reset function is controlled by a dedicated pin.  
memory controller/local memory interface  
The memory controller manages the TMS34020’s interface to the local memory and automatically performs the  
bit alignment and masking necessary to access data located at arbitrary bit boundaries within memory. The  
memory controller operates autonomously with respect to the CPU. It has a write queue one field (1 to 32 bits)  
deep that permits it to complete the memory cycles necessary to insert a field into memory without delaying the  
execution of subsequent instructions. Only when a second memory operation is required before completion of  
the first operation is the TMS34020 forced to defer execution of the subsequent instruction.  
The TMS34020 directly interfaces to standard dynamic RAMs and, in particular, to standard video RAMs such  
as the TMS44C251 multiport VRAMs. The TMS34020 memory interface consists of the local address/data bus  
(LAD), the DRAM row/column address (RCA) bus, and associated control signals. The currently selected word  
address (28 bits) and status (4 bits) are multiplexed with data on the LAD bus. The RCA bus allows direct  
connection to address/address multiplexed DRAMs from 64K to 16M. Refresh for DRAMs is supported by  
CAS-before-RAS refresh cycles.

reset  
Reset puts the TMS34020 into a known initial state. This state is entered when the input signal at the RESET  
pin is asserted low. While RESET remains asserted, all outputs are in a known state, no DRAM refresh cycles  
take place, and no screen refresh cycles are performed.  
The state of the HCS input on the CLKIN cycle before the low-to-high transition of the RESET signal determines  
whether the TMS34020 will be halted or begin executing instructions. The TMS34020 may be in one of two  
modes, host-present or self-bootstrap mode.  
1. Host-Present Mode. If HCS is high at the end of reset, TMS34020 instruction execution halts and remains  
halted until the host clears the HLT (halt) bit in HSTCTLH (host control register). Following reset, the RAS  
cycles required to initialize the dynamic RAMs are performed automatically by the GSP memory control  
logic. The host may request a memory access after the eight RAS initialization cycles have completed. The  
TMS34020 automatically performs DRAM refresh cycles at regular intervals; although the TMS34020  
remains halted until the host clears the HLT bit. Only then does TMS34020 fetch the level-0 vector address  
from location FFFFFFE0h and begin executing the reset service routine.  
2. Self-Bootstrap Mode. If HCS is low at the end of reset, the TMS34020 first performs eight refresh cycles  
to initialize the DRAMs. Immediately following the eight refresh cycles, the GSP fetches the level-0 vector  
address from location FFFFFFE0h, and begins executing the reset service routine.

POST OFFICE BOX 1443 HOUSTON, TEXAS 77251–1443  
TMS34020, TMS34020A  
GRAPHICS PROCESSORS  
SPVS004D – MARCH 1990 – REVISED NOVEMBER 1993  
At the time the TMS34020 fetches the level-0 vector address (the reset vector), the least significant four bits  
(bit-address part) are used to load configuration data that establishes the initial condition of the big endian/little  
endian mode and the current RCA bus configuration bits in the CONFIG register as described in the I/O register  
section.  
Unlike other interrupts and software traps, reset does not save the previous ST or PC values (this can also occur  
on host-initiated nonmaskable interrupts if the NMIM bit in HSTCTLH is set to a 1), since the value of the stack  
pointer just before a reset is generally not valid, and saving these values on the stack could contaminate valid  
memory locations. A TRAP 0 instruction, which uses the same vector address as reset, similarly does not save  
the ST or PC values.  
asserting reset  
A reset is initiated by asserting the RESET input pin to its active-low level. To reset the TMS34020 at power up,  
RESET must remain low for a minimum of 40 local clock periods (LCLK1 and LCLK2) after power levels have  
become stable. At times other than power up, the TMS34020 may be reset by holding RESET low for a minimum  
of four local clock periods; the GSP will enter an internal reset state for 34 local clock cycles. While in the internal  
reset state and RESET is high, memory refresh cycles occur.  
reset and multiprocessor synchronization  
The synchronization of multiple TMS34020s sharing a local memory is done using the RESET input. In systems  
where the multiprocessor interface is used to control the access to a common memory, the processors must  
be synchronized. Synchronization is achieved by taking RESET high within a specific interval relative to CLKIN.  
This may be done by using CLKIN to clock RESET as received by the TMS34020s. All TMS34020s to be  
synchronized should use the same CLKIN and RESET inputs. All of the local memory and bus control signals  
should be connected in parallel (without buffers) between the processors. After power up, the processors are  
not necessarily synchronized with respect to the particular quarter cycle in progress. The rising edge of RESET  
is used to set the TMS34020 to a particular quarter cycle by adding Q1 cycles. All TMS34020s in a  
multiprocessor environment operate on the same quarter cycle within 10 quarter cycles after the rising edge  
of RESET.  
reset and DRAM/VRAM initialization  
The TMS34020 drives its RAS signal inactive (high) as long as RESET remains low. The specifications for  
certain DRAM and VRAM devices require that the RAS signal be driven inactive for 1 millisecond after power  
isstabletoprovidetheproperconditionsfortheDRAMs. Typically, eightRAScyclesarealsorequiredtoinitialize  
the DRAMs for proper operation. In general, holding RESET low for t microseconds ensures that RAS remains  
high initially for t(10t ) microseconds. The TMS34020 memory controller automatically inserts the required  
Q
eight RAS cycles after all resets (after power up or after the internal reset state) by issuing CAS-before-RAS  
refresh cycles before it allows the CPU access to memory. A host must delay requests to memory until the  
initialization cycles have had sufficient time to complete. Immediately following reset, the TMS34020 is set to  
perform a refresh sequence every eight cycles.  
At times other than power up, to maintain the memory in DRAMs and do a reset, the RESET pulse must not  
exceed the maximum refresh interval of the DRAMs minus the time for the TMS34020 to refresh the memories.  
On reset, the TMS34020 is set to do a refresh cycle every eight local clock periods. A 32-MHz (CLKIN) system  
with one (refresh) bank of D/VRAM would be completely refreshed in one-sixteenth of the total memory refresh  
interval. The reset pulse then should not exceed about fifteen-sixteenths of the total refresh interval required  
by the DRAMs to maintain memory integrity.  
If the RESET signal remains low longer than the maximum refresh interval specified for the memory, the  
previous contents of the local memory may not be valid after the reset.

The CBP, RCM0, and RCM1 bits in the I/O register CONFIG are set to the corresponding bits read from  
the vector fetched from memory address FFFF FFE0h. The configuration-byte-protect bit (CBP) can be

local memory and DRAM/VRAM interface  
The TMS34020 local memory interface consists of an address/data multiplexed bus on which address and data  
are transmitted. The associated control signals support memory widths of 16 or 32 bits, burst (page-mode)  
accesses, local-memory wait states, and optional external data bus buffers. The TMS34020 DRAM/VRAM  
interface consists of an address/address multiplexed bus and the control signals to interface directly to both  
DRAMs and VRAMs. The local-memory interface and the DRAM/VRAM interface are interrelated and therefore  
considered together for this description. At the beginning of a typical memory cycle, the address and status of  
the current cycle are output on the LAD bus, while the row address is output on the row/column address (RCA)  
bus. ALTCH and RAS are used to latch the address/status and row address, respectively, on these two buses.  
The LAD bus is then used to transfer data to or from the memory while the RCA bus is set to the column address  
for the memory. LAD31 is the most significant bit of the address or data.

The address output on the row/column address (RCA) lines is determined by the row/column mode bits (RCM0  
and RCM1 in the I/O register CONFIG) and the state of the column address mode pin (CAMD) during each  
memory cycle. The CAMD signal is sampled on the internal Q4 clock phase, which allows CAMD to be  
generated by static logic wired to the local address/data (LAD) bus.

In 64K mode with CAMD=0, any eight adjacent RCA0RCA12 pins output 16 contiguous logical address bits.  
The eight most significant addresses are output during row-address time, while the least significant addresses  
are output during column-address time. Logical addresses 12 through 16 are output twice during a memory  
cycle (during both RAS and CAS falling edges) but at different pins. This allows a variety of VRAM memory  
organizations and decoding schemes to be used. When CAMD = 1, the addresses output during  
column-address time are changed such that a new logical address mapping occurs, allowing connection of the  
RCA signals directly to 256K or 1M DRAMs.  
Similarly, for each of the other VRAM modes, direct connection is provided for other DRAM modes requiring  
larger matrices than the configuration mode. The following table gives examples of the connections using this  
feature.

dynamic bus sizing  
The TMS34020 supports dynamic bus sizing between 16 and 32 bits on any local memory access. Any  
port/memory that is only 16 bits wide must assert SIZE16 low during Q1 (to be valid at the start of Q2) of the  
bus cycle accessing the even memory word (LAD4 = 0) corresponding to its address.The TMS34020 then  
performs another memory access to the next 16-bit (odd) word in memory. The TMS34020 samples the SIZE16  
pin at the start of Q2 in the second cycle (access to odd word address) to determine to which half of the LAD  
bus the port or memory is aligned. If the port is on LAD0LAD15, the SIZE16 input should be low during the  
second cycle access (odd word); otherwise, if the port is on LAD16LAD31, the SIZE16 input must be high at  
this time. The TMS34020 always performs two memory cycles to access the 16-bit wide memories, even when  
attempting only a 16-bit transfer.  
The TMS34020 outputs the four CAS strobes and LAD bus initially aligned for a 32-bit bus. If the memory is 16  
bits wide, the two most significant CAS strobes are swapped with the two least significant strobes when it  
accesses the second word, and the halves of the LAD bus are also swapped; therefore, 16-bit memories need  
to respond only to the two CAS strobes corresponding to the upper or lower 16 bits of the LAD bus to which they  
are connected.  
Note that devices connected to LAD0LAD15 transfer the least significant word during the first cycle and the  
most significant word during the second cycle. Data accesses on LAD16LAD31 transfer the most significant  
word first, then the least significant word.  
The second memory cycle forced by the SIZE16 pin is performed as a page-mode access if PGMD was low  
during the first access. A read-write cycle to 16-bit page-mode memory requires five bus cycles that occur as  
address, read0, read1, write0, write1. If a 16-bit transfer is interrupted due to a bus fault, the restart causes the  
entire access to be restarted.  
For memory that supports page-mode accesses (PGMD low), SIZE16 is sampled during each access to  
memory. If SIZE16 is high on the even-word access, then a 32-bit transfer occurs over LAD0LAD31. If SIZE16  
is low on the even-word access (16-bit wide memory), then it is sampled again on the odd-word access to  
determine to which half of the LAD bus the memory is connected (low for connection to LAD0LAD15 or high  
for connection to LAD16LAD31).

special 1M VRAM cycles  
The TMS34020 provides control for special-function VRAM cycles that are available in the 1M devices. These  
cycles are obtained by the appropriate timing control of the SF, CAS, TR/QE, and WE pins of the VRAMs at the  
falling edge of RAS. The cycles include:  
Load write mask.  
Load color mask.  
Block write (no mask).  
Block write (current mask).  
Write using mask.  
Alternate write transfer.  
In addition, other special modes can be implemented by using external logic.  
multiprocessor arbitration  
The multiprocessor interface allows multiple processors to operate in a system sharing the same local memory.  
The use of the grant in (GI) and the priority request signals (R0 and R1) allows a flexible method of passing  
control from one processor to another. The control scheme allows local memory cycles to occur back-to-back,  
even when passing control from on TMS34020 to another. Synchronization of multiple TMS34020s in a system  
occurs at reset with the rising edge of RESET meeting the setup and hold requirements to CLKIN, so all  
TMS34020s are certain to respond to the RESET during the same quarter cycle. RESET is not required to be  
synchronous to CLKIN, except to allow synchronization of multiple TMS34020s in a system.  
The GI priority for multiprocessing environments is determined by arbitration logic external to the TMS34020.  
If GI goes inactive (high), the TMS34020 releases the bus on the next available cycle boundary. If the cycle in  
progress has not successfully completed, the TMS34020 restarts the cycle upon regaining control of the bus.  
Normally, if the TMS34020 asserts both R0 and R1 low, it should be given the control of the bus by the arbitrator.  
host interface  
The TMS34020 host interface allows the local memory to be mapped into the host address space. The  
TMS34020 acts as a DRAM controller for the host. The address for the host access is latched within the  
TMS34020; however, the data for the access is transferred via external transceivers. The host selects the  
address of a 32-bit long word for an access using the 27 host-address lines, HA5HA31. If the host desires byte  
addressability, it can select the active bytes for the access by using HBS0HBS3. The TMS34020 always reads  
32 bits from memory; however, on host writes, it uses the host byte selects to enable CAS0CAS3 to memory.  
The address and byte selects are latched at the falling edge of HCS within the TMS34020. The host indicates  
a read or write by asserting HREAD or HWRITE (as appropriate) either before or after HCS. HREAD and  
HWRITE must never be asserted at the same time.  
The TMS34020 responds to a host-read request by latching the requested data in the external latches and  
providing HRDY to the host, indicating that the read cycle is completing. The rising edge of HDST with HRDY  
high indicates data is latched in the external transceivers.  
The host indicates that a write to a particular location is required by providing the address and asserting the  
HWRITE signal. The host must maintain both HCS and HWRITE asserted until valid data is in the transceivers.  
(The rising edge of HOE with HRDY high indicates that the data previously stored in the external transceivers  
has been written to memory.) Typically, the rising edge of HWRITE is used to strobe the data into the latches  
and signal the TMS34020 that the write access can start. The TMS34020 uses its byte-write capability to write  
only to the selected bytes.

SPVS004D – MARCH 1990 – REVISED NOVEMBER 1993  
The TMS34020 always accesses the required location as latched at the falling edge of HCS; however, in order  
to increase the data rate, a look-ahead mechanism is implemented. The HINC (host increment enable) and  
HPFW (host prefetch after write enable) bits in the host control register (HSTCTLH) must be appropriately set  
to make optimum use of this feature. These bits provide four modes of operation as indicated in the following  
table:

WhentheTMS34020isprogrammedforblock-modeorread/modify/writeaccesses, thehostcanstilldorandom  
accesses because the TMS34020 always uses the address provided at the falling edge of HCS; however, there  
is a prefetch to the next sequential address. The prefetch occurs after reads in block mode and after writes in  
read/modify/write mode. The TMS34020 compares the address latched by HCS on host reads to see if it is the  
same as that of the last prefetched data. If the addresses match, data is not reaccessed, but HRDY is set high  
to indicate that the data is presently available.  
dynamic bus sizing on host accesses  
If the host makes a read access to a 16-bit-wide memory, the TMS34020 automatically does the second cycle  
required to read the rest of the 32-bit word (even if the host did not require a 32-bit cycle). The external logic  
must comprehend the sense of SIZE16 or the CAS strobes during the accesses in order to route the data into  
the proper external host data transceivers. The TMS34020 uses the host byte selects (HBS0HBS3) to enable  
the CAS strobes when doing a host write.  
coprocessor interface  
Support for coprocessors is provided through special instructions and bus cycles that allow communication with  
the coprocessor. A coprocessor may be register-based, depending on the TMS34020 to do all address  
calculations, or it may operate as its own bus controller, using the multiprocessor arbitration scheme. Five basic  
cycles are provided for direct communication and control of coprocessors.  
1. TMS34020 to coprocessor.  
2. Coprocessor to TMS34020.  
3. Move memory to coprocessor.  
4. Move coprocessor to memory.  
5. Coprocessor internal command.  
The first four of these cycles provide for command of the coprocessor in addition to the movement of parameters  
to and from the coprocessor. In this manner, parameters can be sent to the coprocessor and operated upon  
without an explicit coprocessor command cycle.

instruction set  
The TMS34020 instruction set can be divided into five categories:  
1. Graphics instructions.  
2. Coprocessor instructions.  
3. Move instructions.  
4. General-purpose instructions.  
5. Program control and context switching.  
Specialized graphics instructions manipulate pixel data that is accessed via memory addresses or XY  
coordinates. These instructions include graphics operations, such as array and raster ops, pixel processing,  
windowing, plane masking, pixel masking, and transparency. Coprocessor instructions allow for the control and  
data flow to and from coprocessors that reside in the system. Move instructions comprehend the bit-addressing  
and field operations, which manipulate fields of data using linear addressing for transfer to and from memory  
and the register file. General purpose instructions provide a complete set of arithmetic and Boolean operations  
on the register file, as well as general program control and data processing. Program control and context  
switching instructions allow the user to control flow and to save and restore information using instructions with  
both register-direct and absolute operands.  
clock stretch  
The TMS34020A supports a clock stretching mechanism, which is described in outline below.  
With advances in semiconductor manufacturing, new versions of the TMS34020A can be made, each  
supporting a higher CLKIN frequency. The increase in CLKIN frequency means that the TMS34020A machine  
cycles execute more quickly, with a consequent increase in code execution speed. However, there comes a  
point when, as the machine cycle time becomes shorter, the local memory control signals begin to violateDRAM  
and VRAM timing parameters for certain types of memory access.  
The clock-stretch mechanism allows the TMS34020A to slow down and execute those critical local memory  
cycles, while still benefiting from the accelerated processing allowed by higher CLKIN frequencies during  
noncritical memory access cycles.  
Exact timing issues will vary from system to system, reflecting differences in bus buffering, etc., but broadly  
speaking the clock-stretch mechanism allows the system designer to interface to slower (and hence cheaper  
and more available) memory devices than the designer could use if no stretch mechanism were available.  
A normal, unstretched machine cycle consists of four quarter cycles, Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4. A stretched cycle  
consists of five quarter cycles Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4a, and Q4b.  
When clock-stretch mode is enabled, the fourth machine quarter cycle may be stretched to twice its original  
length. This stretching takes place only when the TMS34020A attempts certain types of memory cycle.

The stretch is achieved by holding the internal TMS34020A clocks in the Q4 state for an extra quarter cycle so  
all the device outputs remain unchanged during Q4a and Q4b. The TMS34020A stretches only certain machine  
cycles so that the execution of code is not slowed unnecessarily.

Bit 4 of the CONFIG register is the clock-stretch-enable mode bit. A 0 in this bit will disable stretch mode and  
a 1 in this bit will enable stretch mode. The bit is cleared during reset; i.e., stretch mode is disabled by default.  
When stretch mode is enabled, the following machine cycles are stretched:  
1. All address cycles of all memory access sequences.  
2. Read data cycles in read-modify-write sequences.  
Notes:  
a) The host default cycle shown on page 8-49 of the TMS34020User’sGuide is not stretched because  
it is not a true address cycle; i.e., RAS, etc., do not go low.  
b) The CPU default cycle, which is similar to the host default cycle in that RAS, etc., do not go low, is  
also not stretched.  
c) Clock-stretch mode disregards the page-mode input, so that read data cycles in nonpage-mode  
read-modify-write sequences are stretched, even though there are no timing constraints that re-  
quire a stretch.  
d) All other memory subcycles are not stretched, even if the TMS34020A is running with the CSE bit  
set to 1.  
The advantage of this implementation of clock-stretch mode is that the TMS34020A can execute code at  
maximum speed, slowing down only during certain parts of memory access sequences.  
It is important to remember that a stretched cycle is 25% longer than a normal cycle, and that the TMS34020A  
(with the exception of the video logic, which is clocked independently by VCLK) will effectively slow down during  
such a stretched cycle.

Stretch  
The stretched cycles are designed to accommodate worst-case 32-bit page-mode accesses, so during some  
nonpage-mode memory accesses, stretches that are not essential may be generated. For example:

Stretches are inserted in read-modify-write accesses to help ease bus turn-around timings. In the above  
example, the second stretch is not needed to help these timings because the read/write turn-around has the  
whole of the address cycle to evaluate.

a clock-stretch timing example, TMS34020A-40 and 100-ns VRAMs  
This example analyzes a memory interface timing parameter. It shows that the clock stretch mechanism can  
be used to allow the TMS34020A-40 to avoid a timing violation when interfaced to 100-ns VRAMs.  
Consider a system with:  
1. TMS34020A-40, which has a 40-MHz clock input frequency and hence a 100-ns cycle time, so  
t
= 25 ns. Timing parameters are taken from the TMS34020 data sheet.  
Q
2. TMS44C251-10 256K × 4 bit VRAM. Timing parameters are taken from the appropriate section in  
the Texas Instruments MOS Memory Data Book, 1989.

minimum of 15 ns.  
as 45 ns – 7ns = 38 ns, which does not violate the VRAM  
h(RA)  
cycle timing examples  
The following figures show examples of many of the basic cycles that the TMS34020 uses for memory access,  
VRAM control, multiprocessor bus control, and coprocessor communication. These figures should not be used  
todeterminespecificsignaltimings, butcanbeusedtoseesignalrelationshipsforthevariouscycles. Q4phases  
that could be stretched are marked with a * on the diagrams. The conditions required for the stretch are:  
1. The design uses a TMS34020A  
2. The CONFIG register’s CSE bit is set to 1  
3. The TMS34020A is doing either:  
a) Any address cycle, or  
b) A read data cycle in a read-modify-write sequence.  
The following remarks apply to memory timing in general. A row address is output on RCA0RCA12 at the start  
of a cycle, along with the full address and status on LAD0LAD31. These remain valid until after the fall of  
ALTCH and RAS. The column address is then output on RCA0RCA12, and LAD0LAD31 are set to read or  
write data for the memory access. During a write, the data and WE are set valid prior to the falling edge of CAS;  
the data remains valid until after WE and CAS have returned high.  
Large memory configurations may require external buffering of the address and data lines. The DDIN and  
DDOUT signals coordinate these external buffers with the LAD bus.

Figure 7. Dynamic Bus Sizing, Read Cycle  
When SIZE16 is selected low, the TMS34020 performs a second cycle to read (or write) the remaining 16 bits  
of the word. Reads always access all 32 bits (all CAS strobes are active). Internally, the TMS34020 latches both  
the high and the low words obtained on the first read cycle. The sense of SIZE16 on the second (odd-word)  
access is used to determine which half of the bus is to be sampled to replace the data word latched during the  
first cycle.

Figure 8. Dynamic Bus Sizing, Write Cycle  
Write accesses to 16-bit memory are performed by swapping the data on upper and lower words of the LAD  
bus and exchanging data on CAS0 and CAS1 for data on CAS2 and CAS3, respectively. This is illustrated in  
the above example where the TMS34020 is writing the upper 24 bits (LAD8LAD31) of data to memory. During  
the first cycle, data is placed on LAD0LAD31 as in a normal write. The sampling of SIZE16 low during the first  
access indicates that this is 16-bit-wide memory, so the TMS34020 swaps data on the upper and lower halves  
of the LAD bus. Notice that during the first cycle CAS0 is inactive (since this byte was not selected) and during  
the second cycle CAS2 is inactive due to the exchange of CAS0 for CAS2 and CAS1 for CAS3.

Figure 11. Block-Write Cycle Without Mask  
This special 1M VRAM control cycle is performed when a VBLT or VFILL instruction is executed and PMASKL  
and PMASKH are set to zero. It is indicated by CAS, WE, TR/QE high and SF low at the falling edge of RAS,  
and by SF high at the falling edge of CAS. The data on LAD is used as an address mask, and the data stored  
in the color latch is written to the VRAM. The address selects chosen by the two least significant bits of the  
column addresses within the VRAM are replaced with the four DQ bits latched on the falling edge of CAS. A logic  
1 on each bit enables that nibble to be written, while a logic 0 disables the write from occurring. This cycle allows  
up to 16 bits to be written into each VRAM (four adjacent nibbles, each set to the value in the color latch) for  
a total of 128 bits. During the address portion of the cycle, the status on LAD0LAD3 indicates a block write  
is being performed (status code = 1110). SIZE16 can be used with this cycle, but external multiplex logic is  
required to map the data correctly to appropriate memories.

Figure 14. Memory-to-Serial-Data-Register Cycle (VRAM Read Transfer)  
This VRAM cycle is issued in any of three ways:  
1. Pixel operation instruction with the CST bit in DPYCTL set.  
2. Horizontal blank reload cycle requested by the video-control logic with the VCE bit in DPYCTL cleared.  
3. Video timeout due to SCOUNT match with the value in MLRNXT and the VCE and SSV bits in DPYCTL  
cleared.  
This cycle is indicated by TR/QE and SF low and CAS and WE high at the time RAS goes low. The timing of  
the low-to-high transition of TR/QE is dependent upon the timing of SCLK when doing a midline reload cycle.  
During the address portion of the cycle, the status on LAD0LAD3 indicates either a video-initiated VRAM  
memory-to-register transfer (status code = 0100) or a CPU-initiated VRAM memory-to-register transfer  
(status code = 0101).

Figure 15. Memory-to-Split-Serial-Data-Register Cycle (VRAM Split-Register Read Transfer)  
This VRAM cycle is performed when a video timeout due to a match of the MLRNXT register occurs, the VCE  
bit in DPYCTL is cleared, and the SSV bit in DPYCTL is set. This cycle is indicated by TR/QE low and CAS, SF,  
and WE high at the time RAS goes low. The timing of the low-to-high transition of TR/QE is not dependent upon  
the timing of SCLK because there is not as great a timing constraint to position the cycle as in midline reload.  
During the address portion of the cycle, the status on LAD0LAD3 indicates a video-initiated VRAM  
memory-to-register transfer (status code = 0100). Although PGMD and SIZE16 are ignored on this cycle, they  
should be held at valid levels as shown.

Figure 16. Serial-Data-Register-to-Memory Cycle (VRAM Write Transfer, Pseudo-Write Transfer)  
This VRAM cycle is performed when a horizontal blank reload is requested by the video-control logic and the  
VCE bit and the SRE bit in DPYCTL are both set. This cycle is indicated by TR/QE, WE and SF low and CAS  
high at the time RAS goes low. The SOE pin of the VRAMs is used to select between write transfer and  
pseudo-write transfer cycles (SOE must be generated by logic external to the TMS34020). During the address  
portion of the cycle, the status on LAD0LAD3 indicates that a video-initiated VRAM register-to-memory  
transfer (status code = 0100) is being performed. Although PGMD and SIZE16 are ignored on this cycle, they  
should be held at valid levels as shown.

This VRAM cycle is performed when a pixel-write instruction is executed with the CST bit in DPYCTL set. This  
cycle is indicated by TR/QE and WE low, and SF and CAS high at the time RAS goes low. This cycle does not  
require the use of the SOE pin of the VRAM and does not affect the status of the serial I/O pins. During the

register-to-memory transfer (status code = 0101) is being performed. Although PGMD and SIZE16 are ignored  
on this cycle, they should be held at valid levels as shown.

Figure 18. Multiprocessor Interface Timing (High-Impedance Signals)  
Transition points are shown for R0 and R1 to indicate where they occur relative to the other signals.  
This example indicates that the TMS34020 has control of the bus, yields control, and then regains control. The  
TMS34020 regains bus mastership as soon as its GI pin is driven active (low). R0 and R1 could be outputting  
any of the codes with the exception of the access-termination code. The bus arbitration logic must control the  
timing of GI to all of the processors requiring the bus.  
It is recommended that TMS34020A clock stretch not be used in multiprocessor systems.

Figure 19. Multiprocessor Interface Timing (Passing Control)  
Two TMS34020s use the multiprocessor interface to pass control of local memory from one to the other. GSP1  
completes a read cycle to the local memory and, although desiring another read, loses the bus to GSP2, which  
doesasinglewritecycle(perhapsahost-writeaccess). GSP1thenregainscontrolandcompletesthereadcycle  
(shown with a single wait state). Since no further memory-access requests are present, GSP1 maintains control  
of the bus and holds all of the local-memory control signals at their inactive levels. LRDY is a common input to  
both GSP1 and GSP2.  
The host cycle timing diagrams shown in this data sheet are only a sample. If you want more information, see  
the TMS34020 User’s Guide.

Figure 21. Back-to-Back Host Read Cycles With Implicit Addressing; HREAD as Strobe  
Thehost-accessrequestissynchronizedtotheTMS34020atthebeginningofQ4sothatthelocalmemorycycle  
may begin in Q1.  
In block mode (prefetch after read), the TMS34020 automatically initiates sequential read accesses as soon  
as the host deasserts the current read request. In this example, the host reads a location and must wait for the  
first access to complete. When the host removes HREAD, indicating the end of the first read, the TMS34020  
starts to prefetch the next sequential location. When the host makes the next request, the TMS34020 has  
prefetched the data so that the host reads with no delay. While in block mode, the TMS34020 continues to  
prefetch data for the host read each time the host removes either HREAD or HCS. If the address present and  
latched at the falling edge of HCS matches the previously prefetched address, the HRDY signal is asserted high  
so that the host can read with no delay.  
In read/modify/write mode (prefetch after write), the TMS34020 initiates the read access as soon as the current  
write request is deasserted.

NOTE A: HRDYgoeshighatthestartofQ2;however, thememorycyclewritingdatatomemoryisnotcompleteduntilthestartofQ4whenALTCH,  
CAS, and HOE return high. The host must not strobe new data into the external latch until just after the start of Q4.  
Figure 23. Host Write Cycle Back-to-Back With Prefetch of Next Word and Implicit Addressing; HREAD  
and HWRITE Used as Strobes  
The TMS34020 provides HRDY as soon as it recognizes the host write cycle (if no other host write cycle is in  
progress), allowing the host to latch the data in the external data latches. The host then attempts a second write  
but does not get an immediate HRDY because the TMS34020 is still writing the first data to memory. As soon  
as the memory write completes, HRDY goes high so that the host can latch the new data. The TMS34020 then  
writes the second data while the host continues other processing. The host access request is synchronized to  
the TMS34020 at the beginning of Q4 so that the local memory cycle can begin in Q1. If the external host access  
request occurs after the setup time requirement before Q4, the request is not considered until the next Q4 cycle.  
During a host write cycle DDIN is active so that if the write is to the TMS34020 I/O registers, the data can be  
required within the GSP.

Figure 24. Synchronization of Multiple TMS34020s  
Although RESET is not normally required to be synchronous to CLKIN, in order to facilitate synchronization of  
multiple TMS34020s in a system, the rising edge of RESET must meet the setup and hold requirements to  
CLKIN so that all GSPs are certain to respond to the RESET on the same quarter cycle. The four possible  
conditions for the state of the TMS34020 at the time RESET goes high are shown above. Quarter cycle 1 is  
extended accordingly to provide synchronization of the GSPs. All TMS34020s to be synchronized must share  
a common CLKIN and RESET. Within 10 CLKIN cycles after RESET goes high, all GSPs will be synchronized  
to the same quarter cycle through the extension of Q1 cycles.  
It is recommended that TMS34020A stretch mode not be used in multiprocessor systems.

information on the LAD bus during the initialization cycle for the TMS34020. Two types of  
memory-to-coprocessor instructions are supported: one provides a count (from 1 to 32) of data to be moved  
in the instruction; the other specifies a register in the TMS34020 to be used for the count. Both instructions  
specify a register to be used as an index into memory. The index may be post-incremented or pre-decremented  
on each transfer cycle.

Figure 28. Transfer Coprocessor Register(s) to Memory (ALTCH High During Data Transfer)  
Data transfer from a coprocessor to memory requires an initialization cycle to inform the coprocessor what is  
to be transferred and then a memory cycle to perform the actual transfer. The coprocessor can place status  
information on the LAD bus during the initialization cycle for the TMS34020. The memory cycle includes a dead  
cycle to enable the TMS34020 to take the LAD bus drivers to the high-impedance state before the coprocessor  
activates its LAD bus drivers to the memory. Two types of memory-to-coprocessor instructions are supported.  
Both provide a count (from 1 to 32) of data to be moved in the instruction. Both also specify a register to be used  
as an index into memory. One uses this index register with a post-increment and the other uses it with a  
pre-decrement after each transfer cycle.

general notes on timing parameters  
The period of the local clocks (LCLK1 and LCLK2) is four times the period of the input clock (CLKIN).  
The quarter cycle time (t ) that appears in the following tables is one quarter of a local output clock period, or  
Q
equal to the input clock period, t  
.
c(CKI)  
All output signals from the TMS34020 are derived from an internal clock such that all output transitions for a  
given quarter cycle occur with a minimum of skewing relative to each other. In the timing diagrams, the  
transitions of all output signals are shown with respect to the local clocks (LCLK1 and LCLK2). The local clock  
edge used as a reference occurs one internal clock cycle before the transition specified.  
The signal combinations shown in the timing parameters are for timing reference only; they do not necessarily  
represent actual cycles. For actual cycle descriptions, please refer to the cycle timings section of this  
specification.

These values are based on computer simulation and are not tested.  
These timings are required only to synchronize the TMS34020 to a particular quarter cycle.  
The initial reset pulse on power up must remain valid until all internal states have been initialized. Resets applied after the TMS34020 has been  
initializedneedtobepresentonlylongenoughtoberecognizedbytheinternallogic;theinternallogicwillmaintainaninternalresetuntilallinternal  
states have been initialized (34 LCLK1 cycles).  
Parameter 9 is the maximum amount by which the RESET low-to-high transition can be delayed after the start of the HCS low-to-high transition  
and still assure that the TMS34020 is configured to run in the self-bootstrap mode (HLT bit = 0) following the end of reset.

All timing parameters relative to the circled points on the diagram have a fast and a slow value. Determine which  
value to use for any parameter by the name of the signal that has the circle on it.  
example of how to use the general output signal characteristics  
Assume a system is using a TMS34020-32. Determine the maximum time from the start of the falling edge of  
ALTCH to the time when data must be valid on the LAD bus for a local memory write cycle.  
From the local memory write cycle diagram on page 27, the time from the falling edge of ALTCH to valid data  
on the LAD bus is roughly Q3 + Q4; i.e., 2t . A more precise value can be obtained by using the table of output  
Q
signal characteristics.  
The parameter of interest is t  
. Note that in the diagram above, there are two representations of  
d(SGNV-SGV)  
t
that relate SIGNALa and SIGNALb (the third representation of this parameter relates SIGNALb to  
d(SGNV-SGV)  
itself and is not useful in this example). Let SIGNALa represent ALTCH because ALTCH is making a transition  
first. Let SIGNALb represent the LAD bus. By definition, the signal becoming valid (SGV) determines whether  
the fast value or the slow value from the table is used. On the diagram, the SGV points are marked with a circle.  
In this case, for parameter t  
, SGV is the LAD bus. LAD is in the slow group, so the maximum value
