14.5.1 External memory interface signals
Table 51, Table 52 and Table 53 list the signals that are typically used to interface with NOR
Flash memory, SRAM and PSRAM.
Note: The prefix “N” identifies the signals which are active low.
NOR Flash memory, non-multiplexed I/Os
The maximum capacity is 512 Mbits (26 address lines).
