4 8-Bit Processor to S1D13706 Interface
4.1 Hardware Connections
The interface between the S1D13706 and an 8-bit processor requires minimal glue logic. A
decoder is used to generate the chip select for the S1D13706 based on where the S1D13706
is mapped into memory. Alternatively, if the processor supports a chip select module, it can
be programmed to generate a chip select for the S1D13706 without the need of an address
decoder.
An inverter inverts A0 to generate the BHE# signal for the S1D13706. If the 8-bit host
interface has an active high WAIT signal, it must be inverted as well.
BS# (bus start) and RD/WR# are not used by the Generic #2 Host Bus Interface and should
be tied high (connected to HIO V
DD
).
In order to support an 8-bit processor with a 16-bit peripheral, the low and high order bytes
of the data bus must be connected together. The following diagram shows a typical imple-
mentation of an 8-bit processor to S1D13706 interface.

Note:
When connecting the S1D13706 RESET# pin, the system designer should be aware of all
conditions that may reset the S1D13706 (e.g. CPU reset can be asserted during wake-up
from power-down modes, or during debug states).
