8XC196NP, 80C196NU USER’S MANUAL

Note that the 32-Kbyte address range could not have 4000H as base address, for example, because 4000H is not on a 32-Kbyte boundary.

“Example of a Chip-select Setup” on page 13-12 shows another example of setting up the chip- select unit.

13.3.2 Controlling Wait States, Bus Width, and Bus Multiplexing

For each chip-select output address range, the bus control register BUSCONx (Figure 13-4)de- termines the wait states, the bus width, and the address/data multiplexing.
