External Interface Module (EIM)

11.1 Overview

The External Interface Module (EIM) handles the interface to devices external to the MC9328MX1,
including generation of chip selects for external peripherals and memory, and provides the following
features:
Six chip selects for external devices: CS0, covering a range of 32 Mbyte, and CS1–CS5, covering
a range of 16 Mbyte each
Selectable protection for each chip select
Reset programmable data port size for CS0
Programmable data port size for each chip select
Address suppression during burst mode operations
Synchronous burst mode support for burst flash devices
Programmable wait-state generator for each chip select
Supports big endian and little endian modes of operation
Programmable general output capability for unused chip select outputs

11.2 EIM I/O Signals

The EIM I/O signals provide communication and control pathways between external devices and the
MC9328MX1. A summary of the I/O signal pins is provided in Table 11-2 on page 11-4. Each signal is
described in the following sections.

11.2.1 Address Bus

The A [24:0] signals are address bus outputs used to address external devices.

11.2.2 Data Bus

The D [31:0] signals are bidirectional data bus pins used to transfer data between the MC9328MX1 and an
external device.
