30.9.3.3 Write Cycle
The write_cycle time is defined as the total duration of the write cycle, that is, from the time where address is set on the
address bus to the point where address may change. The total write cycle time is equal to:
NWE_CYCLE = NWE_SETUP + NWE_PULSE + NWE_HOLD 
= NCS_WR_SETUP + NCS_WR_PULSE + NCS_WR_HOLD
All NWE and NCS (write) timings are defined separately for each chip select as an integer number of Master Clock
cycles. To ensure that the NWE and NCS timings are coherent, the user must define the total write cycle instead of the
hold timing. This implicitly defines the NWE hold time and NCS (write) hold times as:
NWE_HOLD = NWE_CYCLE - NWE_SETUP - NWE_PULSE 
NCS_WR_HOLD = NWE_CYCLE - NCS_WR_SETUP - NCS_WR_PULSE
30.9.3.4 Null Delay Setup and Hold
If null setup parameters are programmed for NWE and/or NCS, NWE and/or NCS remain active continuously in case of
consecutive write cycles in the same memory (see 
). However, for devices that perform write operations on
the rising edge of NWE or NCS, such as SRAM, either a setup or a hold must be programmed.

30.9.3.5 Null Pulse
Programming null pulse is not permitted. Pulse must be at least set to 1. A null value leads to unpredictable behavior.
