Hi, The Beck IPC@CHIP (www.ipc-chip.com) is a single chip embedded webserver, based on a 186 processor. It has an 8 bit parallel data/adress bus, multiplexed. Pin information from the IPC@CHIP documentation: --- 4.1 Address / Data bus Pin Name Type Function A[0..2] O Address Bus (output, three-state) These pins supply nonmultiplexed memory or I/O addresses to the system. During a bus hold or reset condition, the address bus is in a high-impedance state. A0-A2 will serve as the nonmultiplexed address bus for external peripherals. A0-A2 covers an address range of 8 Byte max. AD[0..7] I/O Multiplexed Address and Data Bus (input/output, three-state, level-sensitive) These time-multiplexed pins supply partial memory or I/O addresses, as well as data, to the system. This bus supplies the low-order 8 bits of an address to the system during the first period of a bus cycle (t1), and it supplies data to the system during the remaining periods of that cycle (t2 , t3 , and t4). In 8-bit mode, AD7-AD0 supplies the data for both high and low bytes. During a bus hold or reset condition, the address and data bus is in a high-impedance state. ALE O Address Latch Enable (output) This pin indicates to the system that an address appears on the address and data bus (AD7-AD0). The address is guaranteed to be valid on the trailing edge of ALE. ALE is three-stated and held resistively Low during a bus hold condition. In addition, ALE has a weak internal pulldown resistor that is active during reset, when it is enabled by software. RD# O Read Strobe (output, three-state) This pin indicates to the system that the microcontroller is performing a memory or I/O read cycle. RD is guaranteed to not be asserted before the address and data bus is floated during the address-to-data transition. RD floats during a bus hold condition. WR# O Write Strobe (output) This pin indicates to the system that the data on the bus is to be written to a memory or I/O device. WR floats during a bus hold or reset --- What for information are you requesting? I also have timing diagrams, etc and a lot of other info, but it's kinda hard to post here.

Thanks Dinho -----Mensagem original----- De: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU] Em nome de Claudio Tagliola Enviada em: segunda-feira, 25 de fevereiro de 2002 09:59 Para: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Assunto: [PIC] 8 bit data/adress bus Hi, I'm trying to communicate with a device throught and 8 bit multiplexed data/address bus. I found some things in the piclist from 1999, mentioning the PIC17c4x which has something in that region. However, I need to on another type, a PIC16 or PIC18. Further complication, it's not external memory, it's another microprocessor (a Beck IPC@CHIP). Any idea's on this kind of high speed communications? Is it possible to 'bit-bang' this kind of high speed communications?
