Can I use JDATA mode in a multi-chip application?

Yes, if you use a 16-bit host configuration, you can use JDATA mode in a multi-chip application. However, the JDATA pins in a multi-chip application cannot be tied to each other. Refer to AN-796 for more information. In JDATA multi-chip mode, the BUSMODE and EDMODx registers must be set to JDATA mode.
