Memory Controller
6.8 16-Bit PC Card/Compact Flash Interface
The following sections provide information on the card interface based on the PC Card Standard -
Volume 2 - Electrical Specification, Release 2.1, and CF+ and CompactFlash Specification
Revision 1.4. Only 8- and 16-bit data transfers are supported.
6.8.1 Expansion Memory Timing Configuration Register
MCMEM0, MCMEM1, MCATT0, MCATT1, MCIO0, and MCIO1 are read/write registers that
contain control bits for configuring the timing of the 16-bit PC Card/Compact Flash interface.
The programming of each of the four fields in each of the six registers lets software to individually
select the duration of accesses to I/O, common memory, and attribute space for each of two 16-bit
PC Card/Compact Flash card slots.
Refer to Table 6-23 through Table 6-25 for bitmaps of the MCMEMx registers. Also refer to
Table 6-26. Refer to Figure 6-29 and Figure 6-30 for a 16-bit PC Card/Compact Flash timing
diagram.
These are read/write registers. Ignore reads from reserved bits. Write zeros to reserved bits.
