The SMC does not check the validity of the user-programmed parameters. If the sum of SETUP
and PULSE parameters is larger than the corresponding CYCLE parameter, this leads to unpre-
dictable behavior of the SMC.
For read operations:
Null but positive setup and hold of address and NRD and/or NCS can not be guaranteed at the
memory interface because of the propagation delay of theses signals through external logic and
pads. If positive setup and hold values must be verified, then it is strictly recommended to pro-
gram non-null values so as to cover possible skews between address, NCS and NRD signals.
For write operations:
If a null hold value is programmed on NWE, the SMC can guarantee a positive hold of address
and NCS signal after the rising edge of NWE. This is true for WRITE_MODE = 1 only. See
Read Wait State” on page
For read and write operations: a null value for pulse parameters is forbidden and may lead to
unpredictable behavior.
In read and write cycles, the setup and hold time parameters are defined in reference to the
address bus. For external devices that require setup and hold time between NCS and NRD sig-
nals (read), or between NCS and NWE signals (write), these setup and hold times must be
converted into setup and hold times in reference to the address bus.
The external data bus D[7:0] can be scrambled in order to prevent intellectual property data
located in off-chip memories from being easily recovered by analyzing data at the package pin
level of either microcontroller or memory device.
The scrambling and unscrambling are performed on-the-fly without additional wait states.
The scrambling method depends on two user-configurable key registers, SMC_KEY1 and
SMC_KEY2. These key registers are only accessible in write mode.
The key must be securely stored in a reliable non-volatile memory in order to recover data from
the off-chip memory. Any data scrambled with a given key cannot be recovered if the key is lost.
The scrambling/unscrambling function can be enabled or disabled by programming the
SMC_OCMS register.
