2.2.2 Memory circuits
The memory used by the microcontroller is divided into the two parts:
• programme memory
• data memory
The EPROM memory with the capacity of 256 kB serves as the programme memory. The data memory is
built on the static RAM memory (68C1000, 66C1024) and is expandable to 512 kB. The programme memory
(EPROM) is activated using the CS0 signal and the data memory (SRAM) is activated using the CS1 signal.
The ECR Euro-500TX handy uses
the ultra low power input memory
circuits that allow the lower power
supply demands and significantly
prolongs the backup of memory data
using the backup accumulator. The
exchange of said memory circuits
for other types with same capacity
can result in worse performance of
memory operations, increase of the
bus interference, and the memory
back-up time is shorter. It is recom-
mended to use only manufacturer
approved memory circuits.
In order to preserve the data in RAM
memory while the ECR is off, the
RAM memory is backed up from the
reserve accumulator.
Note: The chapter 4.7 describes how
to expand ECR memory to 512 kB.
