As mentioned above, the typical HCS08 Core architecture can only access 2^16 = 65536 bytes, or 64 Kilobytes memory space. Thus, a paging mechanism was introduced to enable HCS08 CPU access more memory space. The terms "paged" and "non-paged" are derived from the paging mechanism. "Banked" and "non-banked" are synonym terms to paged and non-paged, respectively. They are often used interchangeably in Freescale's literature.
To better understand paging mechanism, we need to consider the following:
