Page Mode 2 Bus Structure
The page mode 2 external bus structure multiplexes the most significant address byte with data on P2 and uses P0 for the least sig-
nificant address byte. An illustration of this memory interface is provided in Figure 6-6.
This bus structure speeds up external code fetches only. Aside from the different functions of P0 and P2 when operating in page mode
2, the external memory accesses are equal in duration and timing to those made in the nonpage mode. Figure 6-7 illustrates memory
cycles for the page mode 2 bus structure.
