Programmable timers

Two independent timers (2μs–20.7 hours)

Watchdog timer (interrupt or reset on expiration)

Programmable bus monitor or timer

Operating frequency

36, 46, or 55 MHz internal clock operation from 18.432 MHz quartz crystal or crystal oscillator

fMAX = 36, 46, or 55 MHz (grade-dependent)

System clock source by external quartz crystal or crystal oscillator, or clock signal

Programmable PLL, which allows a range of operating frequencies from 10 to fMAX

Maximum operating frequency from external clock or using PLL multiplication fMAX

Bus interface

Five independent programmable chip selects with 256 Mb addressing per chip select

All chip selects support SRAM, FP/EDO DRAM, SDRAM, flash, and EEPROM without external glue

Supports 8-, 16-, and 32-bit peripherals

External address decoding and cycle termination

Dynamic bus sizing

Internal DRAM/SDRAM controller with address multiplexer and programmable refresh frequency

Internal refresh controller (CAS before RAS)

Burst-mode support

0–63 wait states per chip select

Address pins that configure chip operating modes; see "NS7520 bootstrap initialization" on page 60.
