DESCRIPTION
The external Static Memory Controller is an AMBA AHB slave module which provides an interface between an AMBA AHB
system bus and external (off-chip) memory devices. It provides support for up to four independently configurable memory banks
simultaneously. Each memory bank is capable of supporting SRAM, ROM, Flash EPROM, Burst ROM memory, or some external
I/O devices
Each memory bank may be 8, 16, or 32 bits wide.
This module is available in LPC2219 and LPC2294only. Since this 144 pin package pins out address lines A[23:0], the decoding
among the four banks uses address bits A[25:24]. The native location of the four banks is at the start of the External Memory
area identified in Figure 2 on page 32, but Bank 0 can be used for initial booting under control of the state of the BOOT[1:0] pins.
Bank Address Range
0 8000 0000 - 80FF FFFF
1 8100 0000 - 81FF FFFF
2 8200 0000 - 82FF FFFF
3 8300 0000 - 83FF FFFF
