2 Signals and Connections
Table 3 identifies and describes the MC9328MXL signals that are assigned to package pins. The signals
are grouped by the internal module that they are connected to.
Table 3. MC9328MXL Signal Descriptions
Signal Name
Function/Notes
External Bus/Chip-Select (EIM)
A[24:0]
Address bus signals
D[31:0]
Data bus signals
EB0
MSB Byte Strobe—Active low external enable byte signal that controls D [31:24].
EB1
Byte Strobe—Active low external enable byte signal that controls D [23:16].
EB2
Byte Strobe—Active low external enable byte signal that controls D [15:8].
EB3
LSB Byte Strobe—Active low external enable byte signal that controls D [7:0].
OE
Memory Output Enable—Active low output enables external data bus.
CS [5:0]
Chip-Select—The chip-select signals CS [3:2] are multiplexed with CSD [1:0] and are
selected by the Function Multiplexing Control Register (FMCR). By default CSD [1:0] is
selected.
ECB
Active low input signal sent by a flash device to the EIM whenever the flash device must
terminate an on-going burst sequence and initiate a new (long first access) burst sequence.
LBA
Active low signal sent by a flash device causing the external burst device to latch the
starting burst address.
BCLK
Clock signal sent to external synchronous memories (such as burst flash) during burst
mode.
RW
RW signal—Indicates whether external access is a read (high) or write (low) cycle. Used as
a WE input signal by external DRAM.
DTACK
DTACK signal—The external input data acknowledge signal. When using the external
DTACK signal as a data acknowledge signal, the bus time-out monitor generates a bus
error when a bus cycle is not terminated by the external DTACK signal after 1022 clock
counts have elapsed.
Bootstrap
BOOT [3:0]
System Boot Mode Select—The operational system boot mode of the MC9328MXL upon
system reset is determined by the settings of these pins.
SDRAM Controller
SDBA [4:0]
SDRAM/SyncFlash non-interleave mode bank address multiplexed with address signals A
[15:11]. These signals are logically equivalent to core address p_addr [25:21] in SDRAM/
SyncFlash cycles.
SDIBA [3:0]
SDRAM/SyncFlash interleave addressing mode bank address multiplexed with address
signals A [19:16]. These signals are logically equivalent to core address p_addr [12:9] in
SDRAM/SyncFlash cycles.
MA [11:10]
SDRAM address signals
MA [9:0]
SDRAM address signals which are multiplexed with address signals A [10:1]. MA [9:0] are
selected on SDRAM/SyncFlash cycles.
DQM [3:0]
SDRAM data enable
