Waits between Access Cycles
A problem associated with higher external memory bus operating frequencies is that data buffer
turn-off on completion of a read from a low-speed device may be too slow, causing a collision
with data in the next access. This results in lower reliability or incorrect operation. To avoid this
problem, a data collision prevention feature has been provided. This memorizes the preceding
access area and the kind of read/write. If there is a possibility of a bus collision when the next
access is started, a wait cycle is inserted before the access cycle thus preventing a data collision.
There are two cases in which a wait cycle is inserted: when an access is followed by an access to a
different area, and when a read access is followed by a write access from the SH7709S. When the
SH7709S performs consecutive write cycles, the data transfer direction is fixed (from the
SH7709S to other memory) and there is no problem. With read accesses to the same area, in
principle, data is output from the same data buffer, and wait cycle insertion is not performed. Bits
AnIW1 and AnIW0 (n = 0, 2–6) in WCR1 specify the number of idle cycles to be inserted
between access cycles when a physical space area access is followed by an access to another area,
or when the SH7709S performs a write access after a read access to physical space area n. If there
is originally space between accesses, the number of idle cycles inserted is the specified number of
idle cycles minus the number of empty cycles.
Waits are not inserted between accesses when bus arbitration is performed, since empty cycles are
inserted for arbitration purposes.
