The XMEM+ plugs onto an ordinary Arduino MEGA2560 and boosts available SRAM to over 512K. By increasing SRAM, the MEGA becomes much more capable in sophisticated applications. The SRAM is organized as 16 banks of 32K each. On-board high-speed logic simplifies bank-switching management. The active 32K bank seamlessly follows the internal 8K SRAM making 40K available at any time. Also included is a fixed 23K expansion bus for prototyping off-board parallel circuitry. Buffered control, data, and address signals are fully accessible. The operating logic level for all buffered signals is configurable as 3.3 or 5 V for proper translation when working with modern mixed voltage circuitry. The XMEM+ operates at the full 16-MHz system clock speed. Additional details are available at: www.scidyne.com/hpb7699.html.
