RETRIEVING DATA FROM RAM OR CLOCK
The DS1743 is in the read mode whenever OE (output enable) is low, WE (write enable) is high, and CE
(chip enable) is low. The device architecture allows ripple-through access to any of the address locations in
the NV SRAM. Valid data will be available at the DQ pins within tAA after the last address input is stable,
providing that the, CE and OE access times and states are satisfied. If CE, or OE access times and states
are not met, valid data will be available at the latter of chip enable access (tCEA) or at output enable access
time (tCEA). The state of the data input/output pins (DQ) is controlled by CE and OE. If the outputs are
activated before tAA, the data lines are driven to an intermediate state until tAA. If the address inputs are
changed while CE and OE remain valid, output data will remain valid for output data hold time (tOH) but
will then go indeterminate until the next address access.
