FSMC configuration for 100pin footprint

Hello,

I would like to implement a 64 Mbit PSRAM for the MCU F207VGT6 with a 100 pin footprint.

There are 22-bit address pins and 16-bit wide data pins on required by the IS66WVE4M PSRAM.

How can I configure this MCU in CubeIDE?  It is shown that Data/Adress: max 24bits. Do the data and address share pins ?  

Attached is the screen shoot of this configuration.

Kind regards,

Neo

    In the 100 pin packages, the lower addresses (A0-A15) are not available.

    If your memory needs them (i.e. if it is not a memory with built-in address/data demultiplexer), you have to use a higher-pin-count package; or, if your application is OK with decreased bandwidth and additional hardware use a multiplexed address/data mode and external demultiplexer (esentially a 16-bit latch).

    Read the relevant portion of FSMC chapter in Reference Manual.

    Some reason to choose such an old part over newer, lower power ones?

    Hello,

    since the RMII is necessary in our application, the F207 could be a proper option for it. The  F427 is more costly and it consumes more current when we have a look in the sleep mode. Do you mean F407?
