Preliminary Technical Data
Example System Hold Time Calculation
To determine the data output hold time in a particular system,
first calculate tDECAY using the equation given above. Choose ΔV
to be the difference between the ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F
processor’s output voltage and the input threshold for the
device requiring the hold time. CL is the total bus capacitance
(per data line), and IL is the total leakage or three-state current
(per data line). The hold time will be tDECAY plus the various out-
put disable times as specified in the Timing Specifications on
Page 24 (for example tDSDAT for an SDRAM write cycle as shown
in Table 20 on Page 29).

Capacitive Loading
Output delays and holds are based on standard capacitive loads:
30 pF on all pins (see Figure 42). VLOAD is 1.5 V for VDDEXT
(nominal) = 2.5/3.3 V. Figure 43 through Figure 52 on Page 49
show how output rise time varies with capacitance. The delay
and hold specifications given should be derated by a factor
derived from these figures. The graphs in these figures may not
be linear outside the ranges shown.
