7.2 Memory Subsystem
The APS3 core uses a 256 KB instruction/boot ROM (160 KB for IEEE 802.11 and 96 KB for Bluetooth) along with a 420 KB instruction RAM (128 KB for IEEE 802.11 and 292 KB for Bluetooth), and a 128 KB data RAM (64 KB for IEEE 802.11 and 64 KB for Bluetooth). In addition, the device uses a 160 KB shared/exchange RAM (128 KB for IEEE 802.11 and 32 KB for Bluetooth), accessible by the processor and MAC, which allows the processor to perform various data management tasks on the Tx and Rx data packets.
