Memory bank switching allows for an increase in memory capacity without additional address lines. Continuous blocks of memory are enabled by selecting proper memory bank through a pattern recognition sequence on four address inputs. Custom patterns from Dallas Semiconductor can provide security through uniqueness and prevent unauthorized access. By combining the DS1222 with the DS1212 Nonvolatile Controller x16 Chip, up to 16 banks of static RAMs can be selected. 1 of 4 111899DS1222 OPERATION - BANK SWITCHING Initially, on power-up all four bank select outputs are low and the chip enable output ( CEO ) is held high. (Note: the power fail input PFI must be low prior to power-up to assure proper initialization.) Bank switching is achieved by matching a predefined pattern stored within the DS1222 with a 16-bit sequence received on four address inputs. Prior to entering the 16-bit pattern, which sets the bank switch, a read cycle of 1111 on address inputs AW through AZ should be executed to guarantee that pattern entry starts with bit 0. Each set of address inputs is clocked into the DS1222 when CEI is driven low. All 16 inputs must be consecutive read cycles. The first eleven cycles must match the exact bit pattern as shown in Table 1. The last five cycles must match the exact bit pattern as shown for addresses AX, AY, and AZ. However, address line AW defines the bank number to be enabled as per Table 2. Switching to a selected bank of memory occurs on the rising edge of CEI when the last set of bits is input and a match has been established. After bank selection CEO always follows CEI with a maximum propagation delay of 15 ns. The bank selected is determined by the levels set on Bank Select 1 through Bank Select 4 as per Table 2. These levels are held constant for all memory cycles until a new memory bank is selected.
