Abstract
The invention relates to an automatic decoding method for mapping and selecting a non-volatile memory device having a LPC serial communication interface in the available addressing area on motherboards. A logic structure is incorporated in the memory device, which allows a correct decoding to address the memory to the top of the addressable area or to the bottom of the same area, i.e., in both possible cases. This logic incorporates a non-volatile register whose information is stored in a Content Address Memory to enable the automatic mapping of the memory in the addressable memory area.
