The write protocol is similar to the read protocol. It is depicted in 

. The write cycle starts with the address

setting on the memory address bus. 

The NWE signal is characterized by a setup timing, a pulse width and a hold timing.

1.

NWE_SETUP: the NWE setup time is defined as the setup of address and data before the NWE falling edge;

2.

NWE_PULSE: The NWE pulse length is the time between NWE falling edge and NWE rising edge;

3.

NWE_HOLD: The NWE hold time is defined as the hold time of address and data after the NWE rising edge.

The NCS signal waveforms in write operation are not the same that those applied in read operations, but are separately
defined:

1.

NCS_WR_SETUP: the NCS setup time is defined as the setup time of address before the NCS falling edge. 

2.

NCS_WR_PULSE: the NCS pulse length is the time between NCS falling edge and NCS rising edge;

3.

NCS_WR_HOLD: the NCS hold time is defined as the hold time of address after the NCS rising edge.

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
