MAO-MA8

1 OUT Output bus. This
9
bit output bus provides multi-
plexed addresses to DRAMs. This bus operates in two
cycles. The first cycle provides the DRAMs with the
row address, the second cycle with the column ad-
dress.
It
includes full 51 2K addressing for use with
256KX1 DRAMS. The IC only activates this bus when
the processor is doing a
DRAM
access (RAMEN* is
low) or when the device itself is performing a
DMA
data transfer
(DBR*
is low).

Active low. This input is the processor lower data
strobe.
It
is enabled only during a processor
DRAM
access and forces the IC to assert CASL*.
Active low. This input is the processor upper data
strobe.
It
is enabled only during a processor DRAM
access and forces the
IC to assert CASU*.
Active low. This output strobes the column address
into the DRAMS and corresponds to the low byte of
the data word.
Active low. This output strobes the column address
into the DRAMS and corresponds to the high byte of
the data word.
Active low. This output is used to strobe the row ad-
dress into the DRAMs. This signal is asserted only if
the processor is doing a
DRAM
access and A1
9
is low
or if the
IC is performing a
DMA
cycle
(DBR*
is low).
RASO* corresponds to the lower 51 2K bytes of
memory.
Active low. This output is used to strobe the row ad-
dress into the DRAMs. This signal is asserted only if
the processor is doing a
DRAM
access and A1
9
is
high. The signal is not asserted when the device is do-
ing a
DMA
cycle. RASl
*
corresponds to the upper
51
2K bytes of memory.
Active low. The device asserts this signal to indicate
that a
DMA
cycle is underway. The device performs
only
DMAs
on
the lower 51 2K bytes of memory
when DBR* is low and RASO* is asserted. The only
exception is when the device is performing a
DRAM
refresh, in which case RASO*, RASl* and DBR* are all
asserted. The device also asserts both CASL* and
CASU* during DMAS except on a
DRAM
refresh cycle.
