A49FL004
Multiple Device Selection
Multiple Device Selection for
LPC Memory Cycle
Multiple A49FL004 devices may be strapped to
increase memory densities in a system. The four ID
pins, ID[3:0], allow up to 16 devices to be attached to
the same bus by using different ID strapping in a
system, BIOS support, bus loading, or the attaching
bridge may limit this number. The boot device must
have an ID of “0000b” (determined by ID[3:0]);
subsequent devices use incremental numbering,
equal density must be used with multiple devices.
For LPC Memory Read/Write cycles, ID information is
included in the address bits of every cycle. The ID
bits in the address field are the reverse of the
hardware strapping. See Table x2 for multiple device
selection configurations. The A49FL004 will compare
these bits with ID[3:0]’s strapping values. If there is a
mismatch, the device will ignore the remainder of the
cycle.

For Firmware Memory Read/Write cycles, hardware
strapping values on ID[3:0] must match the values in
IDSEL field. See Table x for multiple device selection
configurations. The A49FL004 will compare the
IDSEL field with ID[3:0] ‘s strapping values. If there is
a mismatch, the device will ignore the reminder of the
cycle.
