(SSCLK to SDRAM and SDCLK to SBSRAM). This will cause invalid operation at frequencies below 175 MHz and will not work with future silicon revisions. If CLKOUT2 is used as an SDRAM clock, follow all the workarounds for SDCLK. C62x is a trademark of Texas Instruments Incorporated.
TMS320C6201 Silicon Errata SPRZ153 EMIF: Inverted SDCLK and SSCLK at Speeds Above 175 MHz (Continued) Alternate Workaround: The following alternate workarounds can help for certain board and layout configurations. Using faster (125 MHz or PC100) SDRAMs and/or SBSRAMs will reduce the chances of data corruption and/or increase the frequency at which reliable memory operation can be observed.
TMS320C6201 Silicon Errata SPRZ153 Silicon Revision 2.1 Known Design Exceptions to Functional Specifications Advisory 2.1.1 EMIF: CE Space Crossing on Continuous Request Not Allowed Revision(s) Affected: 2.1 and 2.0 Details: Any continuous request of the EMIF cannot cross CE address space boundaries. This condition can result in bad data read, or writing to the wrong CE.
TMS320C6201 Silicon Errata SPRZ153 EMIF: SDRAM Invalid Access (Continued) Workaround: Avoid use of multiple CE spaces of SDRAM within a single refresh period. Advisory 2.1.4 DMA: RSYNC Cleared Late for Frame-synchronized Transfer Revision(s) Affected: 2.1 and 2.0 In a frame-synchronized transfer, RSYNC is only cleared after the beginning of last write transfer.
