Mode 
29.14 Asynchronous Page Mode
The SMC supports asynchronous burst reads in page mode, providing that the page mode is enabled in the SMC_MODE
register (PMEN field). The page size must be configured in the SMC_MODE register (PS field) to 4, 8, 16 or 32 bytes. 
The page defines a set of consecutive bytes into memory. A 4-byte page (resp. 8-, 16-, 32-byte page) is always aligned
to 4-byte boundaries (resp. 8-, 16-, 32-byte boundaries) of memory. The MSB of data address defines the address of the
page in memory, the LSB of address define the address of the data in the page as detailed in 
With page mode memory devices, the first access to one page (t
pa
) takes longer than the subsequent accesses to the
page (t
sa
. When in page mode, the SMC enables the user to define different read timings for
the first access within one page, and next accesses within the page. 
Notes: 1. A denotes the address bus of the memory device
2. For 16-bit devices, the bit 0 of address is ignored. For 32-bit devices, bits [1:0] are ignored.
