Intel 80C186XL, 80C188XL user manual device EPROM or Flash memory types

CHIP-SELECT UNIT

UCS	Mapped only to the upper memory address space; selects the BOOT memory
	device (EPROM or Flash memory types).
	Mapped only to the lower memory address space; selects a static memory
LCS
	(SRAM) device that stores the interrupt vector table, local stack, local data, and
	scratch pad data.
	Mapped only to memory address space; selects additional SRAM memory,
MCS3:0
	DRAM memory, or the system bus.
	Mapped to memory or I/O address space; selects peripheral devices or generates
PCS6:0
	a DMA acknowledge strobe. Note that each PCSx is not individually config-
	urable for I/O space or memory space.

Figure 6-3. Chip-Select Relative Timings

The UCS chip-select always ends at address location 0FFFFH; its block size (and thus its starting address) is programmed in the UMCS register (Figure 6-5 on page 6-7). The LCS chip-select al- ways starts at address location 0H; its block size (and thus its ending address) is programmed in the LMCS Control register (Figure 6-6 on page 6-8). The block size can range from 1 Kbyte to 256 Kbytes for both.

The MCS3:0 chip-selects access a contiguous block of memory address space. The block size can range from 8 Kbytes to 512 Kbytes; it is programmed in the MMCS register (Figure 6-7 on page 6-9). Each chip-select goes active for one-fourth of the block. The start address is programmed in the MPCS register (Figure 6-9 on page 6-11); it must be an integer multiple of the block size. Because of the start address limitation, the MCS3:0 chip-selects cannot cover the entire memory address space between the LCS and UCS chip-selects.
