The ease with which the NSBMC096 may be integrated into
a system design is illustrated in the diagram inFigure 4. The
system shown supports an i960 CA/CF with between 2 and
128 MB of memory, depending on the devices selected,
managed by a single NSBMC096. This specific example ac-
commodates 1 MB x 1, 4 MB x 1 or 16 MB x 1 devices.
Connection of the NSBMC096 to the i960 CA/CF processor
is accomplished simply by wiring together pins with the
same names. The only exceptions are READY and BTERM.
If the NSBMC096 is the only device that generates these
two signals, they can be connected directly to the appropri-
ate inputs of the processor and require only a small pull up
resistor to keep them de-asserted when in the high imped-
ance state.
If multiple processor peripherals are connected to READY
or BTERM, 3-state drivers should be used in such a manner
that the signals are actively de-asserted prior to the driver
being placed in its’ high impedance state. If this rule is fol-
lowed, a simple ‘‘wire or’’ can be used. Alternately, all
sources of READY or BTERM can be combined using multi-
ple input gates and the processor signals driven by the out-
puts.
