PB

Byte lane state

 

 

 

0 For reads, all bits in byte_lane[3:0] are high.

 

 

 

For writes, the respective active bits in byte_lane[3:0] are low

 

 

 

(reset value for chip select 0, 2, and 3 on reset_n).

 

 

 

1 For reads, the respective active bits in byte_lane[3:0] are low.

 

 

 

For writes, the respective active bits in byte_lane[3:0] are low.

 

 

 

Note:

Setting this bit to 0 disables the write enable signal. WE_n

 

 

 

 

will always be set to 1 (that is, you must use byte lane

 

 

 

 

select signals).

The byte lane state bit (PB) enables different types of memory to be connected. For byte-wide static memories, the byte_lane[3:0] signal from the memory controller is usually connected to WE_n (write enable). In this case, for reads, all byte_lane[3:0] bits must be high, which means that the byte lane state bit must be low.

16-bit wide static memory devices usually have the byte_lane[3:0] signals connected to the nUB and nLB (upper byte and lower byte) signals in the static memory. In this case, a write to a particular byte must assert the appropriate nUB or nLB signal low. For reads, all nUB and nLB signals must be asserted low so the bus is driven. In this case, the byte lane state must be high.
