Chapter 19 Module Mapping Control (MMCV4) Block Description
vector spaces, expansion windows, and on-chip memory are mapped so that their address ranges do not
overlap. The MMC will make only one select signal active at any given time. This activation is based upon
the priority outlined in Table 19-15. If two or more blocks share the same address space, only the select
signal for the block with the highest priority will become active. An example of this is if the registers and
the RAM are mapped to the same space, the registers will have priority over the RAM and the portion of
RAM mapped in this shared space will not be accessible. The expansion windows have the lowest priority.
This means that registers, vectors, and on-chip memory are always visible to a program regardless of the
values in the page select registers.

Remaining external space
In expanded modes, all address space not used by internal resources is by default external memory space.
The data registers and data direction registers for ports A and B are removed from the on-chip memory
map and become external accesses. If the EME bit in the MODE register (see MEBI block description
chapter) is set, the data and data direction registers for port E are also removed from the on-chip memory
map and become external accesses.
In special peripheral mode, the first 16 registers associated with bus expansion are removed from the
on-chip memory map (PORTA, PORTB, DDRA, DDRB, PORTE, DDRE, PEAR, MODE, PUCR,
RDRIV, and the EBI reserved registers).
In emulation modes, if the EMK bit in the MODE register (see MEBI block description chapter) is set, the
data and data direction registers for port K are removed from the on-chip memory map and become
external accesses.
19.4.2.2 Emulation Chip Select Signal
When the EMK bit in the MODE register (see MEBI block description chapter) is set, port K bit 7 is used
as an active-low emulation chip select signal, ECS. This signal is active when the system is in emulation
mode, the EMK bit is set and the FLASH or ROM space is being addressed subject to the conditions
outlined in Section 19.4.3.2, “Extended Address (XAB19:14) and ECS Signal Functionality.” When the
EMK bit is clear, this pin is used for general purpose I/O.
19.4.2.3 External Chip Select Signal
When the EMK bit in the MODE register (see MEBI block description chapter) is set, port K bit 6 is used
as an active-low external chip select signal, XCS. This signal is active only when the ECS signal described
above is not active and when the system is addressing the external address space. Accesses to
