34.7.2.3 Signal Multiplexing
Depending on the byte access type (BAT), only the byte write signals or the byte select signals are used. To save I/Os at the external bus interface, control signals at the SMC interface are multiplexed. The following table shows signal multiplexing depending on the data bus width and the byte access type.
For 16-bit devices, bit A0 of address is unused. When the Byte Select option is selected, NWR1 is unused. When the Byte Write option is selected, NBS0 is unused.
| Device Type | Signal Name | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 16-bit Bus | 8-bit Bus | ||
| 1 x 16-bit | 2 x 8-bit | 1 x 8-bit | |
| Byte Access Type (BAT) | Byte Select | Byte Write | – |
| NBS0_A0 | NBS0 | – | A0 |
| NWE_NWR0 | NWE | NWR0 | NWE |
| NBS1_NWR1 | NBS1 | NWR1 | – |
| A1 | A1 | A1 | A1 |
