#85109 - 512k ONLY? :-)
Responding to: ???'s previous message
OK, so 512k+ that makes a BIG difference!
SRAMs 512k x8 in TSSOP32 are lying around in piles! :-) We use Samsung K6T4008 in volume, but there is a lot of other manufacturers of the very same, e.g. MoselVitelic, BSI, Toshiba, Renesas, Hynix - to mention only a few. You can even have a 32Mbit (=4MB x8) SRAMs these days. The only issue is that they mabe have more pins than you may want to connect directly, but than I would do with one or two 74HC574 for the high address register rather than a shift register.

As for SW refresh of a SDRAM, if you have an "on chip boot code", this could also possibly take care of the refresh.
Nevertheless, using a SDRAM or any other DRAM might be a pain with '51 - they are simply not intended to be used in this way; although no doubt solution exists, but I wouldn't go for that at all.
