- The external data bus configuration is latched at the rising edge of
- RESET (when the 332 releases RESET itself before the 10 cycles you
- mention). This is shown in figure A-7, page A-15 of the SIM manual.
-
- The earlier section 8.3.1 is misleading - I expect that it is refering
- to internal operation when it says that the configuration is latched at
- the end of the 10 cycles. It would be better to say that this is the
- time when the data bus (latched earlier at the rising edge of RESET)
- is validated by checking if RESET has remained negated, and then used
- internally.
-
- So basically, the circuit in figure 8-4 will work, as the bus is sampled
- at rising edge of reset, with 0 hold time specified (p A-15).
-
- I hope this clears things up,
