Section 13 Bus State Controller (BSC)
13.1
Overview
The functions of the bus state controller (BSC) include division of the external memory space, and
output of control signals in accordance with various types of memory and bus interface
specifications. The BSC functions allow DRAM, synchronous DRAM, SRAM, ROM, etc., to be
connected to the SH7750 Series, and also support the PCMCIA interface protocol, enabling
system design to be simplified and data transfers to be carried out at high speed by a compact
system.
13.1.1 Features
The BSC has the following features:
•
External memory space is managed as 7 independent areas
Maximum 64 Mbytes for each of areas 0 to 6
Bus width of each area can be set in a register (except area 0, which uses an external pin
setting)
Wait state insertion by 5'< pin
Wait state insertion can be controlled by program
Specification of types of memory connectable to each area
Output the control signals of memory to each area
Automatic wait cycle insertion to prevent data bus collisions in case of consecutive
memory accesses to different areas, or a read access followed by a write access to the same
area
Write strobe setup time and hold time periods can be inserted in a write cycle to enable
connection to low-speed memory
•
•
SRAM interface
Wait state insertion can be controlled by program
Wait state insertion by 5'< pin
Connectable areas: 0 to 6
Settable bus widths: 64, 32, 16, 8
DRAM interface
Row address/column address multiplexing according to DRAM capacity
Burst operation (fast page mode, EDO mode)
CAS-before-RAS refresh and self-refresh
8-CAS byte control for power-down operation
DRAM control signal timing can be controlled by register settings
