A.12
ACE interface signals
The ACE protocol supports clock, configuration, and data handling signals when the processor uses this
protocol for the master memory interface.
This interface exists only if the Cortex
‑
A35 processor is configured to have the ACE interface.
All ACE channels must be balanced with respect to
CLKIN
and timed relative to
ACLKENM
.
