10.6 32-Bit-Wide Memory Interface
The ’C32 memory interface to 32-bit-wide external memory uses STRBx_B3
through STRBx_B0 pins as strobe-byte-enable pins as shown in Figure 10–10.
In this manner, the ’C32 can read from, or write to, a single 32-, 16-, or 8-bit value
from the external 32-bit-wide memory.

Case 1: 32-Bit-Wide Memory With 8-Bit Data-Type Size

When the data-type size is 8 bits, the ’C32 shifts the internal address two bits
to the right before presenting it to the external-address pins. In this shift, the
memory interface copies the value of the internal-address A23 to the external-
address pins A23, A22, and A21. The memory interface activates the STRBx_B3
through STRBx_B0 pins according to the value of the internal address bits A1
and A0 as shown in Table 10–5. Figure 10–11 shows a functional diagram of
the memory interface for 32-bit-wide memory with an 8-bit data-type size.
