S1D13705 Interfacing to the Motorola MCF5307 "ColdFire" Microprocessor

2.2 Chip-Select Module
In addition to generating eight independent chip-select outputs, the MCF5307 Chip Select
Module can generate active-low Output Enable (OE
) and Write Enable (BWE) signals
compatible with most memory and x86-style peripherals. The MCF5307 bus controller also
provides a Read/Write (R/W
) signal which is compatible with most 68K peripherals.
Chip selects 0 and 1 can be programmed independently to respond to any base address and
block size. Chip select 0 can be active immediately after reset, and is typically used to
control a boot ROM. Chip select 1 is likewise typically used to control a large static or
dynamic RAM block.
Chip selects 2 through 7 have fixed block sizes of 2M bytes each. Each has a unique, fixed
offset from a common, programmable starting address. These chip selects are well-suited
to typical IO addressing requirements.
Each chip select may be individually programmed for port size (8/16/32 bits), 0 to 15 wait
states or external acknowledge, address space type, burst or non-burst cycle support, and
write protect.
