EMBEDDED Intel486™ PROCESSOR HARDWARE REFERENCE MANUAL
Figure 4-4 shows the Intel486 processor address bus interface to 32-, 16- and 8-bit memories. To
address 16-bit memories the byte enables must be decoded to produce A1, BHE# and BLE# (A0).
For 8-bit wide memories the byte enables must be decoded to produce A0 and A1. The same byte
select logic can be used in 16- and 8-bit systems, because BLE# is exactly the same as A0 (see
Table 4-5).
