7. MEMORY ORGANIZATION
The W77C32 separates the memory into two separate sections, the Program Memory and the Data
Memory. The Program Memory is used to store the instruction op-codes, while the Data Memory is
used to store data or for memory mapped devices.
7.1 Program Memory
The Program Memory on the W77C32 can be up to 64Kbytes long. All instructions are fetched for
execution from this memory area. The MOVC instruction can also access this memory region.
7.2 Data Memory
The W77C32 can access up to 64Kbytes of external Data Memory. This memory region is accessed
by the MOVX instructions. Unlike the 8051 derivatives, the W77C32 contains on-chip 1K bytes MOVX
SRAM of Data Memory, which can only be accessed by MOVX instructions. These 1K bytes of SRAM
are between address 0000H and 03FFH. Access to the on-chip MOVX SRAM is optional under
software control. When enabled by software, any MOVX instruction that uses this area will go to the
on-chip RAM. MOVX addresses greater than 03FFH automatically go to external memory through
Port 0 and 2. When disabled, the 1KB memory area is transparent to the system memory map. Any
MOVX directed to the space between 0000H and FFFFH goes to the expanded bus on Port 0 and 2.
This is the default condition. In addition, the W77C32 has the standard 256 bytes of on-chip
Scratchpad RAM. This can be accessed either by direct addressing or by indirect addressing. There
are also some Special Function Registers (SFRs), which can only be accessed by direct addressing.
Since the Scratchpad RAM is only 256 bytes, it can be used only when data contents are small. In the
event that larger data contents are present, two selections can be used. One is on-chip MOVX SRAM,
the other is the external Data Memory. The on-chip MOVX SRAM can only be accessed by a MOVX
instruction, the same as that for external Data Memory. However, the on-chip RAM has the fastest
access times.
