Appendix B
Port Delay Register The Port Delay Register sets the delay time, T
d
. Delay time is the time 
between data valid and setting the control (CTL) line TRUE. It is used with 
several handshake modes. You can also read this register to find the current 
delay time.
RM(0,1) (Range Multiplier) You can specify the range of delay time, T
d
, by selecting the one of the range 
multipliers in Table B-5.
Bits 2 and 3 Are not used.
DF(4-7) (Delay Factor) Regardless of the range multiplier you select, you can specify a delay factor 
in the range of 0 through 15 (decimal equivalent of the binary value) by 
setting these bits (0 specifies no delay time). For all output handshake types, 
the delay period T
d
 is equal to the range multiplier times the delay factor 
specified by bits 4–7. For example, if you write the value "00010000" to 
register 5, the multiplier is 1ms and the delay factor is 1. If you write 
"11110010" to register 5, then the multiplier is 10µs and the delay factor is 
15; hence, the delay factor is 150µs. The actual delay for a given transfer 
may be one count longer due to uncertainty in recognizing a transition of a 
handshake signal.
