#180308 - Partial decoding of external memory... |
Dumb question time... :-)
I'm working on a project that will be using one of the Atmel variants of the 8052 (the AT89C52ED2, to be precise...) which has enough internal program and data memory to handle what I intend to do with it. I want to add a memory-mapped LCD interface, but am hoping that I don't need to use an address-latch for the lower eight bits of the address-bus. If I only have one or two devices mapped into external data-memory, I'm assuming that it's fine to just use the upper 8-bit half of the data bus (Port 2) to select the device, and then just use Port 0 for the data bus...? I'm aware that this will restrict me to putting each device in a 256-byte block - but since it's only going to be two devices *at most*, I don't see a problem with that... as long as I stay away from addresses used by internal memory. Thoughts...? |
