Multiplexing Pins Between SDRAM and
FLEXBUS on K65/K66
1. Introduction
This application note introduces the key features on
K65/K66, where pins can be multiplexed between the
SDRAM and FLEXBUS port. This helps save many
pins in the application and is useful in applications that
require many function pins.

Pins multiplexed between SDRAM and FLEXBUS
2. Pins multiplexed between SDRAM and FLEXBUS
Table 1 shows the list of pins that can be multiplexed. When the SDRAM and FLEX BUS are both
working, the multiplexed pins switch automatically. No other configuration is required when it is
running.

Example for hardware connection
3. Example for hardware connection
In this application, the following design connects to both SDRAM and 16-bit FLEX BUS-based LCD
with multiplexed pins. The multiplexed pins are identified with green rectangles.

Demo to show this feature
Figure 2. Multiplexed pins on FLEX BUS
For the full schematic document, refer to the TWR-K65/K66 Freescale Tower System development
board link.
As shown in the images, if these pins are not multiplexed, multiple additional pins are required.
4. Demo to show this feature
The picture is loaded from on-chip to SDRAM after powering on. The picture is then loaded from
SDRAQMA to the FLEX BUS based LCD screen. Figure 3 shows this feature.

Code for the demo
The running result:
Figure 4. Running result of the demo
The two pictures are loaded from SDRAM to LCD alternatively in this demo.
5. Code for the demo
The main code is shown below.
Initialize the SDRAM and FLEX BUS, then initialize LCD and copy picture data from on-chip flash to
SDRAM. Show the two pictures alternatively from SDRAM to LCD.
The full software package is also attached with this application note.
void lcd_show(void)
{
// point to SDRAM
short * p1 = (short*)0x70000000;
short * p2 = (short*)0x70100000;
int i;
// initiate SDRAM, flex bus and LCD
sdramc_init(120*1000);
flex_bus_init();
lcdc_init();
// load image from on-chip flash to SDRAM
for(i=0; i<320*240; i++)

6. Conclusion
This application note discusses how to share pins between SDRAM and FLEX BUS, which is an
important feature of K65/K66. This feature is useful in using applications that require many pins. A
demo also shows how to make hardware connection and how to make code to implement this feature.
