TMS570LC4357: emif interface to a external dpram

Part Number: TMS570LC4357

Dear TI,

I am using TMS570LC4357 in my design.

I have a doubt regarding EMIF interface.

While writing to a external asynchronous DPRAM, is it possible to generate only address and disable emif data lines??? Data will be coming from other external device.

Waiting for your reply...

Thank you

  • Hello Sushma,

    If you have 2 asynchronous memory devices connected MCU through EMIF, those devices can use different chip select. LC43x device has 3 chip selects (EMIF_nCS[4:2]) for asynchronous memory. Those pins are active only during accesses to asyn memory.

    If you have only 1 memory device connected to MCU, and you want to toggle address pins only, you might try to pull WE and OE both high and do read operation. I didn't try this way before.
  • Hello QJ Wang,

    Thank you for the reply and suggestion. I will try it out.

  • Thanks you, let us know your test result.
  • Not able to toggle address pins only by read operation, as in the design WE is connected DPRAM!!!!!!!
    Main task is to write the External ADC data into a DPRAM (controlled by TMS570). In the design, WE is connected to Write Enable of DPRAM & its address lines are connected to TMS570LC4357 EMIF address lines.
    So, if i need to write ADC data to DPRAM, WE should be made LOW.
    So thinking of changing the design...
