Figure 4 illustrates the interface for connecting an 8-bit ROM or
8-bit RAM to the EZ-Host external memory interface. In 8-bit
mode, up to 512K bytes of external ROM or RAM are supported.
General Purpose IO Interface (GPIO)
EZ-Host has up to 32 GPIO signals available. Several other
optional interfaces use GPIO pins as well and may reduce the
overall number of available GPIOs.
GPIO Description
All Inputs are sampled asynchronously with state changes
occurring at a rate of up to two 48 MHz clock cycles. GPIO pins
are latched directly into registers, a single flip-flop.
Unused Pin Descriptions
Ensure to tristate unused USB pins with the D+ line pulled high
through the internal pull up resistor and the D– line pulled low
through the internal pull down resistor.
Configure unused GPIO pins as outputs so they are driven low.
UART Interface
EZ-Host has a built in UART interface. The UART interface
supports data rates from 900 to 115.2K baud. It can be used as
a development port or for other interface requirements. The
UART interface is exposed through GPIO pins.
UART Features
■ Supports baud rates of 900 to 115.2K
■ 8-N-1
UART Pins.

C EEPROM Interface
EZ-Host provides a master-only I
2
C interface for external serial
EEPROMs. The serial EEPROM can be used to store application
specific code and data. Use the I
2
C interface for loading code out
of EEPROM, it is not a general I
2
C interface. The I
2
C EEPROM
interface is a BIOS implementation and is exposed through
GPIO pins. Refer to the BIOS documentation for additional
details on this interface.

Serial Peripheral Interface
EZ-Host provides a SPI interface for added connectivity. EZ-Host
may be configured as either an SPI master or SPI slave. The SPI
interface can be exposed through GPIO pins or the External
Memory port.
SPI Features
■ Master or slave mode operation
■ DMA block transfer and PIO byte transfer modes
■ Full duplex or half duplex data communication
■ 8-byte receive FIFO and 8-byte transmit FIFO
■ Selectable master SPI clock rates from 250 kHz to 12 MHz
■ Selectable master SPI clock phase and polarity
■ Slave SPI signaling synchronization and filtering
■ Slave SPI clock rates up to 2 MHz
■ Maskable interrupts for block and byte transfer modes
■ Individual bit transfer for non-byte aligned serial communi-
cation in PIO mode
■ Programmable delay timing for the active/inactive master SPI
clock
■ Auto or manual control for master mode slave select signal
■ Complete access to internal memory
