PIC18F97J60 FAMILY
8.0 EXTERNAL MEMORY BUS
The External Memory Bus (EMB) allows the device to
access external memory devices (such as Flash,
EPROM, SRAM, etc.) as program or data memory. It
supports both 8 and 16-Bit Data Width modes, and
three address widths of up to 20 bits.
The bus is implemented with 28 pins, multiplexed
across four I/O ports. Three ports (PORTD, PORTE
and PORTH) are multiplexed with the address/data bus
for a total of 20 available lines, while PORTJ is
multiplexed with the bus control signals.
A list of the pins and their functions is provided in
Table 8-1.
TABLE 8-1: PIC18F96J60/96J65/97J60 EXTERNAL MEMORY BUS – I/O PORT FUNCTIONS
Note: The external memory bus is not
implemented on 64-pin and 80-pin
devices.
