Special Restrictions on Back-to-Back Read Cycles
There are also restrictions on specific back-to-back read operations. These restrictions concern
reading specific registers after reading resources that have side effects. In many cases there is a delay
between reading the LAN9218, and the subsequent indication of the expected change in the control
register values.
In order to prevent the host from reading stale data on back-to-back reads, minimum wait periods have
been established. These periods are specified in
processor is required to wait the specified period of time between read operations of specific
combinations of resources. The wait period is dependant upon the combination of registers being read.
Performing "dummy" reads of the BYTE_TEST register is a convenient way to guarantee that the
minimum wait time restriction is met.
required for back-to-back read operations. The number of BYTE_TEST reads in this table is based on
the minimum timing for Tcycle (45ns). For microprocessors with slower busses the number of reads
may be reduced as long as the total time is equal to, or greater than the time specified in the table.
Dummy reads of the BYTE_TEST register are not required as long as the minimum time period is met.
