16-bit NAND Flash
There is no theoretical capacity limitation as the FSMC can manage as many address
cycles as needed.
Table 130.

Table 131.
16-bit PC Card
FSMC signal name
I/O
Function
A[10:0]
O
Address bus
NIOS16
I
Data transfer in I/O space. It must be shorted to GND (16-bit tranfer
only)
NIORD
O
Output enable for I/O space
NIOWR
O
Write enable for I/O space
NREG
O
Register signal indicating if access is in Common or Attribute space
D[15:0]
I/O
Bidirectional databus
NCE4_1
O
Chip select 1
NCE4_2
O
Chip select 2 (indicates if access is 16-bit or 8-bit)
NOE
O
Output enable in Common and in Attribute space
NWE
O
Write enable in Common and in Attribute space
NWAIT
I
PC Card wait input signal to the FSMC (memory signal name
IORDY)
INTR
I
PC Card interrupt to the FSMC (only for PC Cards that can generate
an interrupt)
CD
I
PC Card presence detection. Active high. If an access is performed
to the PC Card banks while CD is low, an AHB error is generated.
