Flexible static memory controller (FSMC) RM0090
1550/1749 RM0090 Rev 18
For synchronous accesses, the FSMC issues the clock (CLK) to the selected external
device only during the read/write transactions. This clock is a submultiple of the HCLK clock.
The size of each bank is fixed and equal to 64 Mbytes.
Each bank is configured by means of dedicated registers (see Section 36.5.6).
The programmable memory parameters include access timings (see Table 220) and support
for wait management (for PSRAM and NOR Flash accessed in burst mode).
36.5.1 External memory interface signals
Table 221, Table 222 and Table 223 list the signals that are typically used to interface NOR
Flash, SRAM and PSRAM.
Note: Prefix “N”. specifies the associated signal as active low.
