Single-Device AP Configuration
The following groups of interface pins are supported in Micron P30 and P33 flash
memories:
■ Control pins
■ Address pins
■ Data pins
The following control signals are from the supported parallel flash memories:
■ CLK
■ active-low reset ( RST# )
■ active-low chip enable ( CE#)
■ active-low output enable ( OE# )
■ active-low address valid ( ADV# )
■ active-low write enable ( WE# )
The supported parallel flash memories output a control signal (
WAIT ) to Cyclone IV E
devices to indicate when synchronous data is ready on the data bus. Cyclone IV E
devices have a 24-bit address bus connecting to the address bus (
A[24:1] ) of the flash
memory. A 16-bit bidirectional data bus (
DATA[15..0] ) provides data transfer between
the Cyclone IV E device and the flash memory.
The following control signals are from the Cyclone IV E device to flash memory:
■ DCLK
■ active-low hard rest ( nRESET )
■ active-low chip enable ( FLASH_nCE)
■ active-low output enable for the DATA[15..0] bus and WAIT pin ( nOE)
■ active-low address valid signal and is used to write data into the flash ( nAVD)
■ active-low write enable and is used to write data into the flash ( nWE )
