Non-Interleaved DRAM Accesses

Non-interleaved DRAM accesses are available for 8-bit or 16-bit data bus. Byte access is available for both 8-bit

and 16-bit data bus and 16-bit halfword access is available for 16-bit data bus. DRAM early-write mode, normal

read mode and page mode are supported. Read-modify-write is not supported.

Note: 16-bit DRAMs must have upper and lower CAS’s in order to work with the DRAM

controller. 8-bit bursts of data will not work with a 16-bit wide memory structure.

2-way Interleaved DRAM Accesses

The two-way interleaved DRAM interface can support up to four 16-bit wide devices a maximum of 8M deep.

Bank 0 is selected with RASn[0] and bank 1 is selected with RASn[1]. CASEn[1:0], CASOn[1:0], DWRn, DOEOn,

DOEEn, ADDR, and DATA are common between the two banks. 2-way interleaving is limited to a 16-bit wide

databus. 8-bit or 16-bit wide devices can be used. The ARM CPU can write 32-bit words, 16-bit halfwords or bytes

to the memory banks. The addressing to the interleaved DRAMs starts with address bit 2. Bits 1 and 0 are used

internally to generate the proper CASOn[1:0] and CASEn[1:0] signals. When the memory structure is configured

for two-way interleaving, byte bursts are not allowed. Only bursts of 32-bit words or 16-bit halfwords are allowed.

The maximum burst length is eight 16-bit halfwords. The burst length is controlled by the DRAMBURST signal

that is sent from the SIU. The external memory structure can use the output enables directly to the memory

device or for increased speed can use external bus transceivers. Bus contention must be considered when the

output enables are tied directly to a DRAM memory.
