CE Generation for FRAM Access and pdata

Keil compiler has the provision of type specifier 'pdata' which can be used to declare variables in external memory.
For SRAM kind of memory devices we can keep the chip enable signal low and use facility provided by 'pdata'.
But for FRAM kind of chips (eg FM1608), CE signal has to have a logic low transition after address is placed then only a valid read/write operation can be performed.
But the code generated by keil dosn't give any option to modify the pdata to insert this CE logic on a port pin.
Is it possible to do anything in code to generate CE signal while accessing pdata type variables.
Thanks in advance...

  • I have used lots of Ramtron chips, but only serial. I said "I have not known Ramtron to be that stupid" now I know they are. Oh, well, it may be that this was not stupidity but the only way to make the chips.

    Now we need to know which exact derivative of the '51 the OP uses since the timing of ALE/!WR/!RD varies between derivatives.
