10.1 Overview
The H8/329 and H8/328 include 1k byte of on-chip static RAM. The H8/327 has 512 bytes. The
H8/326 has 256 bytes. The on-chip RAM is connected to the CPU by a 16-bit data bus. Both byte
and word access to the on-chip RAM are performed in two states, enabling rapid data transfer and
instruction execution.
The on-chip RAM is assigned to addresses H'FB80 to H'FF7F in the H8/329 and H8/328, addresses
H'FD80 to H'FF7F in the H8/327, and addresses H'FE80 to H'FF7F in the H8/326. The RAME bit
in the system control register (SYSCR) can enable or disable the on-chip RAM, permitting these
addresses to be allocated to external memory instead, if so desired.
