RAM Transfer – Trigger and Arm
These digital inputs do not have dedicated pins, a connection exists within the dpASP, an external signal can be routed to
either of these virtual pins from a type2 I/O cell (I/O cells 5, 6 and 7. Pins 15,16,17,18,19 or 20).
The purpose of these virtual pins is to extend optional asynchronous timing control of the dpASP configuration to the user.

AnadigmDesigner2 options, (these are set using the software tool AnadigmDesigner2)
RAM Transfer Trigger = Automatic :
RAM transfer happens automatically immediately after the “end” byte of a configuration bit stream. Timing control is entirely inside the
AN231E04 device and not visible to a user.
RAM Transfer Trigger = Event driven.
RAM Trigger = Off.
no pre-trigger used. The “end” byte of configuration bit stream arms the RAM transfer and the user signal then acts
as the trigger.
Arm Trigger = On
External Signal Allowed = Trigger. This setting allows the external signal connected to be the trigger,
Arming must be from an internal signal.
External Signal Allowed = Arm. This setting allows the external signal connected to be the arming signal,
Trigger be from an internal signal.
RAM Transfer Trigger = Clock synch
RAM transfer happens automatically immediately following the first occurrence of all internal clocks being scyncronous. Timing control is
entirely inside the AN231E04 device and not visible to a user.
HINT:
The RAM transfer timings above are for the trigger block hardware - The Trigger and Arm signals can come from many
sources, propagation delays to the trigger block inputs will vary depending on the source and routing of the signals to this block.
