15.6.3 Connection to External Devices
15.6.3.1 Data bus width
A data bus width of 8 or 16 bits can be selected for each chip select. This option is controlled by
the Data Bus Width field in the Mode Register (MODE.DBW) for the corresponding chip select.
Figure 15-4 on page 181 shows how to connect a 512K x 8-bit memory on NCS2. Figure 15-5 on
page 182 shows how to connect a 512K x 16-bit memory on NCS2.
15.6.3.2 Byte write or byte select access
Each chip select with a 16-bit data bus can operate with one of two different types of write
access: byte write or byte select access. This is controlled by the Byte Access Type bit in the
MODE register (MODE.BAT) for the corresponding chip select.
