4.1.1 System Interface
This section introduces the system (external) bus interface. The system interface is
made up of two unidirectional 15-bit address buses, 64 bidirectional data lines, eight
bidirectional check bits, two single-ended unidirectional clocks, and a few control pins.
The 15-bit address buses provide time-shared address/command/ID in two or four
GCLK cycles. The Cbox controls the system interface.
