NFC Overview
NFC Control Registers
The NFC can handle automatic transfers, sending the commands and address to the NAND
Flash and transferring the contents of the page (for read and write) to the NFC SRAM. It mini-
mizes the CPU overhead.
NAND Flash Read and NAND Flash Program operations can be performed through the NFC
Command Registers. In order to minimize CPU intervention and latency, commands are posted
in a command buffer. This buffer provides zero wait state latency. The detailed description of the
command encoding scheme is explained below.
The NFC handles automatic transfer between the external NAND Flash and the chip via the
NFC SRAM. It is done via NFC Command Registers.
The NFC Command Registers are very efficient to use. When writing to these registers:
So, in one single access the command is sent and immediately executed by the NFC. Even two
commands can be programed within a single access (CMD1, CMD2) depending on the VCMD2
value.
The NFC can send up to 5 Address cycles.

The NFC Command Registers can be found at address
Table 26-4, “External Memory
Reading the NFC command register (to any address) will give the status of the NFC. Especially
useful to know if the NFC is busy, for example.
• the address of the register (NFCADDR_CMD) contains the command used,
• the data of the register (NFCDATA_ADDT) contains the address to be sent to the NAND
Flash.
