28.3 I/O Lines Description
28.4 Product Dependencies
28.4.1 I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing the Static Memory Controller are multiplexed with the PIO lines. The programmer
must first program the PIO controller to assign the Static Memory Controller pins to their peripheral function. If I/O
Lines of the SMC are not used by the application, they can be used for other purposes by the PIO Controller.
28.4.2 Power Management
The SMC is clocked through the Power Management Controller (PMC), thus the programmer must first configure
the PMC to enable the SMC clock.
28.5 External Memory Mapping
The SMC provides up to 24 address lines, A[23:0]. This allows each chip select line to address up to 16 Mbytes of
memory.
If the physical memory device connected on one chip select is smaller than 16 Mbytes, it wraps around and
appears to be repeated within this space. The SMC correctly handles any valid access to the memory device
within the page (see Figure 28-1).
