External Space
Memory Interface The external memory interface comprises the external bus (port 0 and port 2) as well as
the bus control signals (RD
, WR, and ALE).
Figure 15 shows the structure of the external address bus. P0 carries address A7:0
while P2 carries address A15:8. Data D7:0 is multiplexed with A7:0 on P0. Table 12
describes the external memory interface signals.

Page Access Mode The AT89C5132 implement a feature called Page Access that disables the output of
DPH on P2 when executing MOVX @DPTR instruction. Page Access is enable by set-
ting the DPHDIS bit in AUXR register.
Page Access is useful when application uses both ERAM and 256 Bytes of XRAM. In
this case, software modifies intensively EXTRAM bit to select access to ERAM or XRAM
and must save it if used in interrupt service routine. Page Access allows external access
above 00FFh address without generating DPH on P2. Thus ERAM is accessed using
MOVX @Ri or MOVX @DPTR with DPTR < 0100h, < 0200h, < 0400h or < 0800h
depending on the XRS1:0 bits value. Then XRAM is accessed using MOVX @DPTR
with DPTR ≥ 0800h regardless of XRS1:0 bits value while keeping P2 for general I/O
usage.
