Overview
The external memory interfaces (EMIFs) of the TMS320C6000 devices
support a glueless interface to a variety of external devices, including:
-
Synchronous-burst SRAM (SBSRAM)
-
Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM)
-
Asynchronous devices, including SRAM, ROM, and FIFOs
-
An external shared-memory device
The TMS320C6201/C6202/C6701 EMIF services requests of the external bus
from four requesters:
-
The on-chip program memory controller that services CPU program
fetches
-
The on-chip data memory controller that services CPU data fetches
-
The on-chip DMA controller
-
An external shared-memory device controller
If multiple requests arrive simultaneously, the EMIF prioritizes them and performs
the necessary number of operations. A block diagram of the
TMS320C6201/C6202/C6701 is shown in Figure 9–1, and the signals shown
there are summarized in Table 9–1.
The ’C6211/C6711 services requests of the external bus from two requestors:
-
An enhanced direct-memory access (EMDA) controller
-
An external shared-memory device controller
A block diagram of the TMS320C6201/C6202/C6701 is shown Figure 9–2.
