stated during hardware reset, requires a weak external pull-up resistor, and can be con-
nected directly to the WE pin of a static RAM. The DSP96002 diagram shown in Figure 6
on page 29 includes the ne
w write strobe pins.

The timings and functionality of TS and R/W remain unchanged, so that existing configu-
rations may still be used. From a logical standpoint, WR = (TS or R/W).

2 INSTRUCTION CACHE

2.1

INTRODUCTION

The instruction cache may be viewed as a buffer memory between the main (external
and probably slow) memory, and the fast CPU. The cache is used to store frequently
used program instructions and it offers an increase in throughput by eliminating the time
required to access the instruction words on the external bus.

Reduced external bus activity maintains single-cycle program memory access, while al-
lowing the use of a low cost, slow external program memory. It also frees the processor’s
memory expansion port for other tasks such as data moves, DMA transfers, Host Interface
data moves, etc.
