VI-2 SDRAM INTERFACE
The SDRAM controller allows up to 32MB of SDRAM to be connected directly to areas 7 and 8 or areas 13 and
14. This chapter describes how to control the SDRAM interface, and how it operates. For the conditions and
parameters used to configure the external bus except for the SDRAM interface, refer to Chapter II-4, "BCU (Bus
Control Unit)".
Outline of SDRAM Interface
The following shows the main features and specifications of the SDRAM interface.
•
Supports 8 or 16-bit SDRAM.
•
Two SDRAM areas (areas 7 and 8 or areas 13 and 14)
The following SDRAM configuration (maximum) is possible, connected directly to each area.

•
Supports 2 or 4-bank SDRAM (BA1 and BA0 outputs).
Row address range:
2K (A10–A0), 4K (A11–A0), or 8K (A12–A0)
Column address range:
256 (A7–A0), 512 (A8–A0), or 1K (A9–A0)
•
Incorporates a programmable 12-bit auto refresh counter.
The SDRAM can be refreshed as necessary, irrespective of the clock frequency used.
•
Intelligent self-refresh mode for low-power operation
•
Two power-up options:
- Precharge
