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 āNā identifies the signals which are active low.
NOR Flash memory, non-multiplexed I/Os
 
The maximum capacity is 512 Mbits (26 address lines).
