INTERFACING WITH EXTERNAL MEMORY
14.7.2 Write Strobe Mode
The write strobe mode eliminates the need to externally decode high- and low-byte writes to an
external 16-bit RAM or Flash device in 16-bit bus mode. When the write strobe mode is selected,
the device generates WRL# and WRH# instead of WR# and BHE#. WRL# is asserted for all low
byte writes (even addresses) and all word writes. WRH# is asserted for all high byte writes (odd
addresses) and all word writes. In the 8-bit bus mode, WRH# and WRL# are asserted for both
even and odd addresses. Figure 14-14 shows write strobe mode timing.
