to RAM, maps the appropriate blocks of the code space to the
RAM, and then branches to begin execution from RAM. This
allows low cost, slow Flash devices to hold an entire code
image, which can be executed much faster from RAM. If code
is not placed in an external non-volatile memory as described
here, it must be transferred to the RAM via the Host Interface.
Slow memories are not dynamically sensed. Following reset,
the instruction clock operates with a slower cycle while the
Flash is copied to RAM. Once code has been copied from
Flash to RAM, execution transfers to RAM and the clock is
raised to the normal operating frequency.
As mentioned above, it is feasible to operate without a code
image in a non-volatile memory. In such a system, the
firmware must be downloaded to RAM through the host
interface before operation can commence.
The external SRAM memory must be organized in a 16-bit
width to provide adequate performance to implement the
802.11 protocol at 11Mb/s rates. Systems designed for lower
performance applications may be able to use 8-bit wide
memory.
The minimum external memory is 128Kbytes of SRAM,
organized 8 or 16 bits wide. Typical applications, including
802.11 station designs, use 256Kbytes organized 128K x 16.
An access point application could make use of the full address
space of the device with 4Mbytes organized a 2M x 16.
The HFA3842B supports 8 or 16 bit code space, and 8 or 16-
bit data space. Code space is typically populated with the less
expensive Flash memory available, usually an 8-bit device.
Data space is usually populated with high-speed RAMs
configured as a 16-bit space. This mixing of 8/16 bit spaces is
fully supported, and may be done in any combination desired
for code and data space.
The HFA3842B supports direct control of single chip 16-bit
wide SRAMs with high/low byte enables, as well as direct
control of a 16-bit space constructed from 8-bit wide SRAMs.
The type of memory configuration is specified via the
appropriate MD pin, sensed when the HFA3842B is reset.
HFA3842B pin MUBE-/MA0/MWEH- functions as Address 0
for 8-bit access, (such as Flash) as MWEH (High Byte Write
Enable) when two x8 memories are configured as a single
x16 space, and as the upper Byte Enable when a single x16
memory is used. No external logic is required to generate
the required signals for both types of memory configurations,
even when both exist together; all that is required is for the
HFA3842B code to configure the HFA3842B memory
controller to generate the proper signals for the particular
address space being accessed.
For 8-bit spaces, the HFA3842B dynamically configures pin
MUBE-/MA0/MWEH- cycle-by-cycle as the address LSB.
MWEL-/MWE- is the only write control, and MOE- is the read
output enable.
For 16-bit spaces constructed from 8-bit memories, the
HFA3842B dynamically configures pin MUBE-/MA0/MWEH-
cycle-by-cycle as the high byte write enable, MWEL- as the low
write enable signal, and MOE- as the read output enable.
For 16-bit spaces constructed from single-chip x16 memories
(such as SRAMs), the HFA3842B dynamically configures pin
MUBE_/MA0/MWEH- cycle-by-cycle as the upper byte enable.
Pin MLBE- is connected as the low byte enable, MWEL-/MWE-
is the write control, and MOE- is the read output enable.
These memory implementations require no external logic. The
memory spaces may each be constructed from any type of
memory desired. The only restriction is that a single memory
space must be constructed from the same type of memory; for
example, data space may not use both x8 and x16 memories, it
must be all x8, or all x16. This restriction does not apply across
memory spaces; e.g., code space may use a x8 memory and
data space a single x16 memory, or code space two x8
memories and data space a single x8 memory.

Serial EEPROM Interface
The HFA3842B contains a small on-chip ROM Firmware which
was added to allow the CIS or CIS plus firmware image to be
transferred from an off-chip serial non-volatile memory device
to RAM after a system Reset. This allows a system
configuration without a parallel Flash Device. The operating
frequency of the serial port is 400kHz with a voltage of 3.3V.
Refer to Figure 14 for additional details on configuring the serial
memory of the HFA3842B. The Power On Reset Configuration
section in this data sheet provides additional details on memory
selection and control after a Reset condition.
Host Interface
PC Card Physical Interface
The Host interface is compatible to the PC Card 95 Standard
(PCMCIA v2.1). The HFA3842B Host Interface pins connect
directly to the correspondingly named pins on the PC Card
connector with no external components (other than resistors)
required. The HFA3842B operates as an I/O card using less
than 64 octet locations. Reads and writes to internal
registers and buffer memory are performed by I/O accesses.
Attribute memory (256 octets) is provided for the CIS table
which is located in external memory. Common memory is not
used.
The following describes specific features of various pins:
HA[9:0]
Decoding of the system address space is performed by the
HCEx-. During I/O accesses HA[5:0] decode the register.
HA[9:6] are ignored when the internal HAMASK register is
set to the defaults used by the standard firmware. During
attribute memory accesses HA[9:1] are used.
