13.2 EXTERNAL MEMORY INTERFACE SIGNALS

Table 13-2 describes the external memory interface signals. For some signals, the pin has an al- ternate function (shown in the Multiplexed With column). In some cases the alternate function is a port signal (e.g., P2.7). Chapter 7, “I/O Ports,” describes how to configure a pin for its I/O port function and for its special function. In other cases, the signal description includes instructions for selecting the alternate function.

A15:0

I/O

System Address Bus

 

 

These address lines provide address bits 15–0 during the entire

 

 

 

external memory cycle during both multiplexed and demultiplexed

 

 

 

bus modes.

 

 

 

 

 

A19:16

I/O

Address Lines 16–19

EPORT.3:0

 

 

These address lines provide address bits 16–19 during the entire

 

 

 

external memory cycle, supporting extended addressing of the

 

 

 

1 Mbyte address space.

 

 

 

NOTE: Internally, there are 24 address bits; however, only 20

 

 

 

address lines (A19:0) are bonded out. The internal address

 

 

 

space is 16 Mbytes (000000–FFFFFFH) and the external

 

 

 

address space is 1 Mbyte (00000–FFFFFH). The device

 

 

 

resets to FF2080H in internal ROM or F2080H in external

 

 

 

memory.

 

 

 

 

 

AD15:0

I/O

Address/Data Lines

 

 

The function of these pins depend on the bus size and mode. When

 

 

 

a bus access is not occurring, these pins revert to their I/O port

 

 

 

function.

 

 

 

16-bit Multiplexed Bus Mode:

 

 

 

AD15:0 drive address bits 0–15 during the first half of the bus cycle

 

 

 

and drive or receive data during the second half of the bus cycle.

 

 

 

8-bit Multiplexed Bus Mode:

 

 

 

AD15:8 drive address bits 8–15 during the entire bus cycle. AD7:0

 

 

 

drive address bits 0–7 during the first half of the bus cycle and either

 

 

 

drive or receive data during the second half of the bus cycle.

 

 

 

16-bit Demultiplexed Mode:

 

 

 

AD15:0 drive or receive data during the entire bus cycle.

 

 

 

8-bit Demultiplexed Mode:

 

 

 

AD7:0 drive or receive data during the entire bus cycle. AD15:8 drive

 

 

 

the data that is currently on the high byte of the internal bus.
