12.3 Application notes
12.3.2 SYMBOL EXPLANATIONS
Ports AD0 to AD7 of the microcontroller can be connected
to pins D0 to D7 of the SRAM in any order.
Each timing symbol has five characters. The first character
is always ‘t’ (time). Depending on their positions, the other
characters indicate the name of a signal or the logical
status of that signal.
For the addressing, the lower group of address lines
(A0 to A8) and the upper group of address lines
(A9 to A14, A15_BK, RAMBK0 and RAMBK1) may be
connected in any order within the groups, provided that the
full 256 kbytes of external SRAM is used.
The designations are:
A = Address
C = Clock
Fig.5 shows the application diagram of the SAA5361 with
external SRAM connections.
D = Input data
When using an external SRAM smaller than 256 kbytes,
the relevant number of bits from the microcontroller
address bus should be disconnected, always removing the
most significant bits first.
H = Logic level HIGH
I = Instruction (program memory contents)
L = Logic level LOW, or ALE
P = PSEN
For power saving modes, it might be advisable to control
the CE pin of the SRAM module(s) using one of the
microcontroller ports to de-select the SRAM.
Q = Output data
R = RD signal
