Memory Interface

The document discusses memory interfacing with a microprocessor. It explains that an address bus, data bus, and control signals are needed to connect memory to the microprocessor. The address bus sends memory addresses, the data bus reads and writes data, and control signals specify read and write operations. It then provides examples of how to interface various memory sizes, such as 1KB, 8 locations, 32KB, and 64KB, and discusses the number of address lines needed and how addresses are decoded.

Memory Interfacing

Connecting memory with the microprocessor


The address bus, data bus, control
signal are need to connect with MP
Address bus to send address
Data bus to read and write the data
Control signal to specify read and write
operation

Generation of control Signal

When IO/
=0 and
signal is generated
When IO/
=0 and
signal is generated
When IO/
=1 and
signal is generated
When IO/
=1 and
signal is generated

=0 ,
=0
=0
=0

The address in the bus select particular location in


memory

Interface Four locations

Interface Eight location


To interface Eight memory location
how many address lines are needed ?
Three address line
That is address decoder is three to
eight decoder

How many address lines are need to


interface 64 KB of memory
2 16= 64 KB
So 16 address lines are needed
A0 to A15 address lines are directly
connected to memory
Only one location is selected by
internal decoder for each address

0

64
KB

A15

How many address lines are need to


interface 32 KB of memory
2 15= 32 KB
So 15 address lines are needed
If I left 16 th address line and use 15
add line only
What will happened?

A14

First location add is


0000(H)
Last Location add is 7FFF(H)

=
8000
=
8001
FFF
F

Same memory is selected for the range of 8000 (H)


to FFFF(H)
First location address is 8000(H)
Last location address is FFFF(H)

So all the address line should be


included in address decoding
The address lines needed for the
memory location are connected
directly
Remaining all address lines should
be used to generate chip select
signal

A15

0

A14

For address range oooo to 7FFF, A15 is 0


so chip is
not selected
No location will be selected

=
8000
=
8001

For address range 8000 to FFFF A15 is 1


so chip is
selected
Address range of the memory is 8000 t0
FFFF

FFF
F

What is the address range of bellow memory


A15
A14

A
0

For address range oooo to 7FFF A15 is


0 so chip is selected
For address range 8000 to FFFF A15 is
1 so chip is not selected
Address range of the memory is 0000
t0 77FFF

Interface 1 KB memory
To Interface 1KB memory 10 address
lines are needed
So connect 10 address lines to
memory directly
Remaining 6 address lines should be
decoded externally to generate chip
select signal

Interface 1KB memory

Address range of 1 KB memory
