BCU
External Memory Map and Chip Enable
The BCU has a 24-bit external address bus (A[23:0]) and a 16-bit external data bus (D[15:0]), allowing an address
space of up to 16 MB to be accessed with one chip enable signal. By default, the address space is divided into 11
areas (areas 0 to 10) for management purposes. Of these, areas 4 to 10 are open to an external system, each
provided with an independent chip-enable pin (#CE[10:4]).
The C33 Core Block is limited to 24 available pins for the address bus and 7 pins for the #CE output due to its
package structure. However, the #CE[4:10] output pins can be switched to the high-order area chip enable output
pins as shown in Table 4.5 using software. CEFUNC[1:0] (D[A:9]) / DRAM timing set-up register (0x48130) is
used for this switching.

(Default: CEFUNC = "00")
The high-order areas that are made available for use by writing "01" to CEFUNC can be larger in size than the
default low-order areas. For example, when using DRAM in default settings, the available space is 4 MB in areas 7
and 8. However, if areas 13 and 14 are used, up to 32 MB of DRAM can be used. The same applies to the other
areas.
Furthermore, when CEFUNC is set to "10" or "11", five chip enable signals are expanded into two area size.
Although the C33 Core Block has only 24 address output pins, it features 28-bit internal address processing.
Figure 4.2 shows a memory map for an external system.
