20. Static Memory Controller (SMC)
20.1 Overview
The Static Memory Controller (SMC) generates the signals that control the access to the external memory devices
or peripheral devices. It has 8 Chip Selects and a 26-bit address bus. The 32-bit data bus can be configured to
interface with 8-, 16-, or 32-bit external devices. Separate read and write control signals allow for direct memory
and peripheral interfacing. Read and write signal waveforms are fully parametrizable.
The SMC can manage wait requests from external devices to extend the current access. The SMC is provided with
an automatic slow clock mode. In slow clock mode, it switches from user-programmed waveforms to slow-rate
specific waveforms on read and write signals. The SMC supports asynchronous burst read in page mode access
for page size up to 32 bytes.
