External Bus Controller

7.1

Features

The External Bus Controller is used for accessing ROM, SRAM memory, and I/O peripherals. The

features of this bus are described below.

(1) 8 independent channels

(2) Supports access to ROM (mask ROM, page mode ROM, EPROM, EEPROM), SRAM, flash memory,

and I/O peripherals.

(3) Selectable data bus width of 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit for each channel

(4) Selectable full-speed, 1/2 speed, 1/3 speed, 1/4 speed for each channel

(5) Programmable timing for each channel. Programmable setup and hold time of address, chip enable,

write enable, and output enable signals.

(6) Supports memory sizes from 1 MB to 1 GB for devices with a 32-bit data bus. Supports memory sizes

from 1 MB to 512 MB for devices with a 16-bit data bus. Supports memory sizes from 1 MB to 256 MB

for devices with an 8-bit data bus.

(7) Supports special DMAC Burst access (address decrement/fixed).

(8) Supports critical word first access of the TX49/H3 core.

(9) Supports page mode memory. Supports 4-, 8-, and 16-page size.

(10) Supports the External Acknowledge Signal (ACK*) and External Ready Signal modes.

(11) Channel 0 can be used as Boot memory. Boot settings can be made from the following selections:

•

Data bus width: 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit

•

ACK* output or ACK* input

•

BWE pin (byte enable or byte Write enable)

•

Boot channel clock frequency

(12) Supports the ISA I/O area access.

(13) Supports ATA PIO mode.
