External RAM on TriCore

[#1]

Hi,

We are considering the TriCore TC29x for one of our upcoming products. It will be used in an application where we will need access to external RAM.

Do any of the TriCore processors support external RAM? I don't see it explicitly mentioned anywhere in the datasheets, but it is looking like external RAM is not supported.

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,

I took a peek in the family manual for TC29x and chapter 38 discusses the external bus unit. So you should be able to wire up external RAM I think.
