How to have 4 Mb on a G compiled by Philippe Teuwen --------------------------- Version 0.02 26th November 1996 ! This document is given only for information and *NOTHING WAS TESTED* , so ANY WARRANTY ! Remember: you need the HC00, HC174 and resistors for enabling port 2. See other docs to know how to do that. 512k SRAM --------- ----------- D3 -| D3 GND |- GND * : different from a 128k D4 -| D4 D2 |- D2 so you can solder all D5 -| D5 D1 |- D1 the pins on the main RAM D6 -| D6 D0 |- D0 or a 128k port 1 excepted D7 -| D7 A0 |- A0 these 3 ones. * NCEn -| NCE A1 |- A1 All the pins are common for A10 -| A10 A2 |- A2 all the 512k excepted the NCEn GND -| NOE A3 |- A3 A11 -| A11 A4 |- A4 A9 -| A9 A5 |- A5 A8 -| A8 A6 |- A6 A13 -| A13 A7 |- A7 NWE -| NWE A12 |- A12 * A17 -| A17 A14 |- A14 A15 -| A15 A16 |- A16 Vcc -| Vcc A18 |- A18 * 32 ----/^\---- 1 Just one 512k chip ------------------ NCEn to pin 6 or 10 of HC00 ( =N(BEN*N(AR18)) or =NCE2.2 ) Now HC00 must be powered all the time: disconnect pins 1 and 14 and wire them to Vcc (as pin 32 of main RAM) Because if HC00 is turned off, the 512k will be turned on. 8*512k chips (->4Mb) -------------------- Must use a decoder: 74HC138: 3-line-to-8-line decoder/demultiplexer (with lines inverted) 1 ----\_/---- A19 -| A Vcc |- Vcc Connect NCEn of SRAMs 512k A20 -| B Y0 |- NCE5.0 respectively to NCE5.n A21 -| C Y1 |- NCE5.1 (n=0-7) GND -| NG2A Y2 |- NCE5.2 GND -| NG2B Y3 |- NCE5.3 Rem: CE2.2 = BEN*N(AR18) CE2.2 -| G1 Y4 |- NCE5.4 NCE5.7 -| Y7 Y5 |- NCE5.5 GND -| GND Y6 |- NCE5.6 ----------- G1 G2* C B A | Y0 Y1 Y2 Y3 Y4 Y5 Y6 Y7 G2* = G2A+G2B -------------|------------------------ X H X X X | H H H H H H H H L X X X X | H H H H H H H H H L L L L | L H H H H H H H H L L L H | H L H H H H H H H L L H L | H H L H H H H H H L L H H | H H H L H H H H H L H L L | H H H H L H H H H L H L H | H H H H H L H H H L H H L | H H H H H H L H H L H H H | H H H H H H H L Thanks to: ---------- Stefano Garavaglia for a judicious remark (alter.ego@iol.it) about powering the chips Contacting the author --------------------- Philippe TEUWEN Belgium s952365@student.ulg.ac.be
