= 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

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 

operations on the rising edge of NWE or NCS, such as SRAM, either a setup or a hold must be programmed.

Null Setup and Hold Values of NCS and NWE in Write Cycle

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

The WRITE_MODE parameter in the SMC_MODE register of the corresponding chip select indicates which signal
controls the write operation. 

 shows the waveforms of a write operation with WRITE_MODE set to 1. The data is put on the bus

during the pulse and hold steps of the NWE signal. The internal data buffers are turned out after the NWE_SETUP
time, and until the end of the write cycle, regardless of the programmed waveform on NCS.
