The NRD and NCS signals are held low during all read transfers, whatever the programmed values of the setup and hold
timings in the User Interface may be. Moreover, the NRD and NCS timings are identical. The pulse length of the first
access to the page is defined with the NCS_RD_PULSE field of the SMC_PULSE register. The pulse length of
subsequent accesses within the page are defined using the NRD_PULSE parameter.
:
The SMC does not check the coherency of timings. It will always apply the NCS_RD_PULSE timings as page access
timing (t
pa
) and the NRD_PULSE for accesses to the page (t
sa
), even if the programmed value for t
pa
 is shorter than the
programmed value for t
sa
