For the Neuron 3150 Chip and the FT 3150 Smart Transceiver, off-chip memory

on these chips consists of one or more of ROM, RAM, EEPROM, NVRAM, or flash

memory regions. You specify the starting page number for each region and the

number of pages (a page is 256 bytes) when the device is defined. If ROM is used,

its starting address must be 0000. If ROM is not used, then flash or NVRAM

memory must take its place, starting at address 0000. The regions of memory

must be in the order shown in Figure 5. They need not be contiguous, but they

cannot overlap.
For Series 5000 and 6000 devices, off-chip non-volatile memory can be either

EEPROM or flash memory. Off-chip non-volatile memory starts at address

0x4000, and can extend up to address 0xE7FF. This memory area is called

extended non-volatile memory. Figure 6 shows the memory map for Series 5000

and 6000 devices.
Memory mapped I/O devices can be connected to the Neuron 3150 Chip, FT 3150

Smart Transceiver, or PL 3150 Smart Transceiver. The devices should respond

only to memory addresses that correspond to any of the shaded areas in Figure

5.
