System Memory Interface
2.2 SDRAM Interface
The applications processor supports an SDRAM interface at a maximum frequency of 100 MHz.
The SDRAM Interface supports four 16-bit or 32-bit wide partitions of SDRAM. Each partition is
allocated 64 MBytes of the internal memory map. However, the actual size of each partition is
dependent on the particular SDRAM configuration used. The four partitions are divided into two
partition pairs: the 0/1 pair and the 2/3 pair. Both partitions within a pair (for example, partition 0
and partition 1) must be identical in size and configuration; however, the two pairs can be different.
For example, the 0/1 pair can be 100 MHz SDRAM on a 32-bit data bus, while the 2/3 pair can be
50 MHz SDRAM on a 16-bit data bus.
Note: For proper SDRAM operation above 50 MHz, 22 ohm series resistors must be placed on the
memory address lines.
2.3 SDRAM memory wiring diagram
Figure 2-2, “SDRAM Memory System Example” on page 2-4 is a wiring diagram example that
shows a system using 1Mword x 16-bit x 4-bank SDRAM devices for a total of 48 Mbytes. Refer
to Section 2.5, “SDRAM Address Mapping” on page 2-6 to determine the individual SDRAM
component address.
