6.7.5 SRAM Interface Overview
The processor provides a 16-bit or 32-bit asynchronous SRAM interface that uses the DQM pins
for byte selects on writes. nCS[5:0] select the SRAM bank. nOE is asserted on reads and nWE is
asserted on writes. Address bits MA[25:0] allow up to 64 Mbytes of SRAM per bank to be
addressed.
The timing for a read access is identical to that for a non-burst ROM (see Section 6.7.4.1). The
RDF fields in the MSCx registers select the latency for a read access. The MSCx[RDN] field
controls the nWE low time during a write cycle. MSCx[RRR] is the time from nCS deassertion
after a memory access to the start of another memory access. MSCx[RTx] must be configured to
0b001 to select SRAM.
6.7.5.1 SRAM Timing Diagrams and Parameters
As shown in Figure 6-17, SRAM reads have the same timing as non-burst ROMs, except
DQM[3:0] are used as byte selects. For all reads, DQM[3:0] are 0b0000. During writes, all 32 data
pins are actively driven by the processor regardless of the state of the individual DQM pins.
