=== TPU ===

The TPU needs to drive the [wiki:TimeSerialPort Time Serial Port] for the [wiki:TWL3025] and [wiki:TRF6151], as well as some parallel I/O lines.

==== TSP of TRF6151 ====

The TSP to the TRF6151 uses three wires:

 * CLOCK (regular CLK_13M)

 * STROBE (generated by TPU)

 * DATA (provided by TPU at falling edge of CLOCK, TRF samples data at rising edge of CLOCK)

==== TSP of TWL3025 ====

The TSP of the TWL3025 usese three wires:

 * CLOCK (regular CLK_13M), the TSL3025 derives an internal CLK6.5 signal of half the clock rate and uses it for the TSP)

 * nTEN (TSP ENable)

 * TDR (sampled by TWL3025 at rising edge of CLK6.5)

The CLK6.5 Signal makes things a bit more complicated than we would like. The sequence of events is something like:

 * CLK_13M is applied continuously to TSL3025

 * nTEN is in default state of high (inactive)

 * internal CLK6.5 is in default state low

 * nTEN is asserted low by TPU, some 0..65ns before CLK_13M rising edge

 * next CLK13M falling edge starts first CLK6.5 rising edge

 * every falling edge of CLK13M toggles CLK6.5

 * TDR is sampled at every rising edge of CLK6.5 (including the first edge above)

 * 7 bits are transferred during seven rising edges of CLK6.5

 * TEN stays asserted for 1 CLK13M period after last bit is transferred

 * TEN needs to be released before next CLK13M rising edge to prevent another transfer
