Figure 16. External Data Memory Cycles with SRWn1 = 1 and SRWn0 = 1
Note:
1. SRWn1 = SRW11 (upper sector) or SRW01 (lower sector), SRWn0 = SRW10 (upper
sector) or SRW00 (lower sector).
The ALE pulse in period T7 is only present if the next instruction accesses the RAM
(internal or external).
XMEM Register Description
MCU Control Register –
MCUCR
• Bit 7 - SRE: External SRAM/XMEM Enable
Writing SRE to one enables the External Memory Interface.The pin functions AD7:0,
A15:8, ALE, WR, and RD are activated as the alternate pin functions. The SRE bit over-
rides any pin direction settings in the respective data direction registers. Writing SRE to
zero, disables the External Memory Interface and the normal pin and data direction set-
tings are used.
• Bit 6 - SRW10: Wait-state Select Bit
For a detailed description in non-ATmega103 Compatibility mode, see common descrip-
tion for the SRWn bits below (XMCRA description). In ATmega103 Compatibility mode,
writing SRW10 to one enables the wait-state and one extra cycle is added during
read/write strobe as shown in
External Memory Control
Register A – XMCRA
• Bit 7 - Res: Reserved Bit
This is a reserved bit and will always read as zero. When writing to this address location,
write this bit to zero for compatibility with future devices.
