TMS320C6X EMIF TO EXTERNAL SDRAM/SGRAM INTERFACE

Interfacing external SDRAM to the Texas Instruments (TIä) TMS320C6x digital signal processor (DSP) is simple compared to previous generations of TI DSPs because of the advanced External Memory Interface (EMIF). The EMIF is a glueless interface to a variety of external memory devices.

This application report describes the EMIF control registers and SDRAM/SGRAM signals along with SDRAM functionality, including functions supported by the EMIF and performance considerations when used with the EMIF.

General examples include each SDRAM configuration supported by the EMIF, including timing analysis. In addition, specific examples are provided using Texas Instrument's TMS626812B-10, Hitachi's HM5216165-10, and Samsung's KM416S4030B-8.
