Bus Control
Bus Control
The following explains the signals required for accessing external devices and software waits. The signals
required for accessing the external devices are valid when the processor mode is set to memory expansion
mode and microprocessor mode. The software waits are valid in all processor modes.
(1) Address bus/data bus
The address bus consists of the 20 pins A0 to A19 for accessing the 1M bytes of address space.
The data bus consists of the pins for data I/O. When the BYTE pin is “H”, the 8 ports D0 to D7 function
as the data bus. When BYTE is “L”, the 16 ports D0 to D15 function as the data bus.
Both the address and data bus retain their previous states when internal ROM or RAM is accessed.
Also, when a change is made from single-chip mode to memory expansion mode, the value of the
address bus is undefined until external memory is accessed.
(2) Chip select signal
The chip select signal is output using the same pins as P44 to P47. Bits 0 to 3 of the chip select control
register (address 000816) set each pin to function as a port or to output the chip select signal. The chip
select control register is valid in memory expansion mode and microprocessor mode. In single-chip
mode, P44 to P47 function as programmable I/O ports regardless of the value in the chip select control
register.
In microprocessor mode, only CS0 outputs the chip select signal after the reset state has been can-
celled. CS1 to CS3 function as input ports. Figure 3-5 shows the chip select control register.
The chip select signal can be used to split the external area into as many as four blocks. Table 3-3
shows the external memory areas specified using the chip select signal.
