Extended RAM Address Port - RW – 8 bits - [RTC_Reg: 50h]

Field Name

Bits

Default

Description

ExtendedRAMAddr

6:0

00h

Because only 7 address bits are used in port x70, only
lower 128 bytes are accessible through port x71. The
Extended RAM (upper 128 bytes) are physically located
at address 80H to FFH. In order to access these
address, an address offset should be programmed into
this register and access them through Extended
RAMDataPort. (An offset of x80H will automatically add
to this 7-bit address).
