2.7.2 Access to On-Chip Peripheral Modules
On-chip peripheral modules are accessed in two states or three states. The data bus width is 8 bits
or 16 bits depending on the register. For description on the data bus width of each register, refer to
appendix B, Internal I/O Registers. Registers with 16-bit data bus width can be accessed by word
size only. Registers with 8-bit data bus width can be accessed by byte or word size. When a
register with 8-bit data bus width is accessed by word size, access is completed in two cycles. In
two-state access, the operation timing is the same as that for on-chip memory.
Figure 2.12 shows the operation timing in the case of three-state access to an on-chip peripheral
module.
