Functional Description
Bus Arbiter
Address Decoder
1790A–ATARM–11/03
The Memory Controller handles the internal ASB bus and arbitrates the accesses of
both masters.
It is made up of:
•
•
•
•
•
The MC handles only little-endian mode accesses. The masters work in little-endian
mode only.
The Memory Controller has a simple, hard-wired priority bus arbiter that gives the con-
trol of the bus to one of the two masters. The Peripheral Data Controller has the highest
priority; the ARM processor has the lowest one.
The Memory Controller features an Address Decoder that first decodes the four highest
bits of the 32-bit address bus and defines three separate areas:
•
•
•
Figure 22 shows the assignment of the 256-Mbyte memory areas.
