Beyond SDRAM/FLASH/SRAM Memory Controller

Applications that must save on number of I/O rail voltages and/or pin count, but still require access to different types of memories can benefit from Beyond SDRAM/FLASH/SRAM controller. It allows you to connect various types and quantities of memory devices to your chip using only a single set of I/Os. SDRAM control part shares the I/Os with asynchronous control part to keep total pin count down. SDRAM and asynchronous control parts offer comprehensive device support and implement features for throughput optimization for application specific conditions. I/O control part handles I/O sharing between SDRAM and asynchronous parts. It also handles external arbitration interface which provides for memory sharing between multiple physical devices. The controller can also be used to access main boot device and offers boot option bus for various boot configuration options.
