Signal Input/Output Descriptions
Bus Controller
OM[1:0] I OM[1:0] sets S3C2440A in the TEST mode, which is used only at fabrication.
Also, it determines the bus width of nGCS0. The pull-up/down resistor
determines the logic level during RESET cycle.
00:Nand-boot 01:16-bit 10:32-bit 11:Test mode
ADDR[26:0] O ADDR[26:0] (Address Bus) outputs the memory address of the corresponding
bank .
DATA[31:0] IO DATA[31:0] (Data Bus) inputs data during memory read and outputs data during
memory write. The bus width is programmable among 8/16/32-bit.
nGCS[7:0] O nGCS[7:0] (General Chip Select) are activated when the address of a memory is
within the address region of each bank. The number of access cycles and the
bank size can be programmed.
nWE O nWE (Write Enable) indicates that the current bus cycle is a write cycle.
nOE O nOE (Output Enable) indicates that the current bus cycle is a read cycle.
nXBREQ I nXBREQ (Bus Hold Request) allows another bus master to request control of the
local bus. BACK active indicates that bus control has been granted.
nXBACK O nXBACK (Bus Hold Acknowledge) indicates that the S3C2440A has surrendered
control of the local bus to another bus master.
nWAIT I nWAIT requests to prolong a current bus cycle. As long as nWAIT is L, the
current bus cycle cannot be completed.
