B.2 SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS

Table B-2 defines the columns used in Table B-3, which describes the signals.

 

Table B-2. Description of Columns of Table B-3

Column Heading

 

Description

 

 

 

Name

 

Lists the signals, arranged alphabetically. Many pins have two functions, so

 

 

there are more entries in this column than there are pins. Every signal is

 

 

listed in this column.

Type

 

Identifies the pin function listed in the Name column as an input (I), output

 

 

(O), bidirectional (I/O), power (PWR), or ground (GND).

 

 

Note that all inputs except RESET# are sampled inputs. RESET# is a level-

 

 

sensitive input. During powerdown mode, the powerdown circuitry uses

 

 

EXTINTx as a level-sensitive input.

Description

 

Briefly describes the function of the pin for the specific signal listed in the

 

 

Name column. Also lists the alternate fuction that are multiplexed with the

 

 

signal (if applicable).

Description

 

 

 

A15:0

I/O

System Address Bus

 

 

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

 

 

memory cycle during both multiplexed and demultiplexed bus modes.

A19:16

I/O

Address Lines 16–19

 

 

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.

 

 

A19:16 are multiplexed with EPORT.3:0.

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 drives

 

 

or receives 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.
