Port size determines the way in which bus transfers to an external address are allo-
cated. Port size of eight bits or sixteen bits can be selected when a pin is assigned as
a chip-select. Port size and transfer size affect how the chip-select signal is asserted.
Out of reset, chip-select pin function is determined by the logic level on a correspond-
ing data bus pin. The data bus pins have weak internal pull-up drivers, but can be held
mation. Either 16-bit chip-select function (%11) or alternate function (%01) can be
selected during reset. All pins except the boot ROM select pin (CSBOOT) are disabled
out of reset. There are twelve chip-select functions and only eight associated data bus
The CSBOOT signal is enabled out of reset. The state of the DATA0 line during reset
determines what port width CSBOOT uses. If DATA0 is held high (either by the weak
internal pull-up driver or by an external pull-up device), 16-bit port size is selected. If
DATA0 is held low, 8-bit port size is selected.
A pin programmed as a discrete output drives an external signal to the value specified
in the port C register. No discrete output function is available on pins CSBOOT, BR,
BG, or BGACK. ADDR23 provides the ECLK output rather than a discrete output
signal.
When a pin is programmed for discrete output or alternate function, internal chip-select
logic still functions and can be used to generate DSACK or AVEC internally on an
address and control signal match.
5.9.1.2 Chip-Select Base Address Registers
Each chip-select has an associated base address register. A base address is the low-
est address in the block of addresses enabled by a chip-select. Block size is the extent
of the address block above the base address. Block size is determined by the value
contained in BLKSZ[2:0]. Multiple chip-selects assigned to the same block of
addresses must have the same number of wait states.
BLKSZ[2:0] determines which bits in the base address field are compared to corre-
sponding bits on the address bus during an access. Provided other constraints
determined by option register fields are also satisfied, when a match occurs, the asso-
ciated chip-select signal is asserted. Table 5-20 shows BLKSZ[2:0] encoding.
