Introduction

1.1.3SMC

The SMC is a high-performance, area-optimized SRAM memory controller.

The SMC is pre-configured and validated for:

•the SRAM memory type

•the number of SRAM memory devices

•the maximum SRAM memory width.

The SRAM memory interface type is defined as supporting:

•synchronous or asynchronous SRAM

•Pseudo Static Random Access Memory (PSRAM)

•NOR flash

•NAND flash devices with an SRAM interface.

The SMC block offers the following features:

•it is configured to support the maximum SRAM memory data width of 32-bit

•programmable cycle timings, and memory width per chip select

•atomic switching of memory device and controller operating modes

•support for the PL220 External Bus Interface (EBI) PrimeCell, enabling sharing of external address and data bus pins between memory controller interfaces

•support for a low-power interface

•support for a remap signal

•support for clock domains to be synchronous or asynchronous

See Chapter 2 Functional Overview for more information.

1.1.4Clock domains

The memory controller has two clock domains:

•AHB clock domain

•static memory clock domain.

See Chapter 2 Functional Overview for more information.

1.1.5Low-power interfaces

The memory controller has two low-power interfaces, one for each clock domain.

See Chapter 2 Functional Overview for more information.
