ST7628
7. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
7.1 MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACE
Chip Select Input
/CS pin is chip selection. The ST7628 is active when /CS=L. In serial interface mode, the internal shift register and the
counter are reset when /CS=H.
7.1.1 Selecting Parallel / Serial Interface
ST7628 has six types of interface with an MPU, which are two serial and four parallel interfaces. This parallel or serial
interface is determined by IF pin as shown in Table 7.1.1.

NOTE: When these pins are set to any other combination, A0, E_RD and RW_WR inputs are disabled and D0 to D15 are
to be high impedance.
7.1.2 8-bit or 16-bit Parallel Interface
The ST7628 identifies the type of the data bus signals according to the combination of A0, /RD (E) and /WR (W/R) signals,
as shown in Table 7.1.2.
