6.3 External Bus Interface

6.3.1 EBI

Overview

W90N745 supports External Bus Interface (EBI), which controls the access to the external memory
(ROM/FLASH, SDRAM) and External I/O devices. The EBI has seven chip selects to select one
ROM/FLASH bank, two SDRAM banks, and four External I/O banks.The address bus is 21 bits. It
supports 8-bit, 16-bit external data bus width for each bank.
The EBI has the following functions:
