Table 12-15 shows all the combinations of burst length, port size, and requested byte count that cause the
EBI to run multiple external transactions to fulfill the request.
In most cases, the timing for small accesses is the same as for normal single-beat and burst accesses, except
that multiple back-to-back external transfers are executed for each internal request. These transfers have
no additional dead cycles in-between that are not present for back-to-back stand-alone transfers except for
the case of writes with an internal request size greater than 64 bits, discussed in
Section 12.4.2.6.2, “Small
Access Example #2: 32-byte Write with External TA .”
The following sections show a few examples of small accesses. The timing for the remaining cases in
Table 12-15 can be extrapolated from these and the other timing diagrams in this document.

In 32-bit data bus mode (DBM = 0 in EBI_MCR), two accesses are performed. In 16-bit data
bus mode (DBM = 1), one 2-beat burst access is performed and this is not considered a small
access case. Refer to
Section 12.4.2.11, “Non-Chip-Select Burst in 16-bit Data Bus Mode ” for
this special DBM = 1 case.
