Hi Frank,
I have a question.
How long delay does a host have to start sending the Host ALIGNp signal after
device started sending the device ALIGNp signal?
Device continues the device ALIGNp signal for 54.6us. For example if a host
should return the Host ALIGNp signal within 10us from a device ALIGNp signal
start, the device has 44.6us for detect the host ALIGNp signal. After 8
DWORDs
ALIGNp signal detection time (maybe 0.1us or less) device can decide that
there
is no host that returns the GENx ALIGNp signal. In this case, the device can
judge no host condition at 11us after the start of sending the device ALIGNp
signal. So proposed 1us transition time is very long enough for the device
implementation.
How long delay is specified in the spec?
Best regards,
