External Memory Interface (EMIF)
17.4.2.2 Configuring the Flash Interface
This section describes how to configure the EMIF to interface with the two of SHARP LH28F800BJE-
PTTL90 8Mb Flash memory with a clock frequency of f
EMIF_CLK
= 100 MHz. The example assumes that one
flash is connected to EMIF_nCS2 and the other to EMIF_nCS3.
17.4.2.2.1 Asynchronous 1 Configuration Register (CE2CFG) Settings for the EMIF to LH28F800BJE-
PTTL90 Interface
The asynchronous 1 configuration register (CE2CFG) and asynchronous 2 configuration register
(CE3CFG) are the only registers that is necessary to program for this asynchronous interface (assuming
that one Flash is connected to EMIF_nCS[2] and the other to EMIF_nCS[3]. The SS bit (in both registers)
should be set to 1 to enable Select Strobe Mode and the ASIZE field (in both registers) should be set to 1
to select a 16-bit interface. The other fields in this register control the shaping of the EMIF signals, and the
proper values can be determined by referring to the AC Characteristics in the Flash datasheet and the
device datasheet. Based on the following calculations, a value of 8862 25BDh should be written to
CE2CFG.
