2.6 Data Memory Interface (DMI)
Figure 2-13 DMI Block Diagrams
2.6.1 DMI Features
The Data Memory Interface (DMI) has the following features:
• 64 Kbyte data memory:
– 8 Kbyte Dual-Port data memory (DPRAM), accessible from CPU and Remote
Peripheral Bus
– 56 Kbyte local data memory (LDRAM)
– DPRAM and LDRAM are parity protected
• CPU interface:
– Supporting unaligned accesses (16-bit aligned) with a minimum penalty of one
cycle for unaligned accesses crossing 2 lines
• Data Local Memory Bus (DLMB) interface. Allows access to the rest of the system.
