10 Memory Interface
10 – 22
The ADSP-2171 and ADSP-2181 processors have an additional feature, the
Bus Grant Hung (
BGH
) output, which lets them operate in a
multiprocessor system with a minimum number of wasted cycles. The
BGH
pin asserts when the ADSP-21xx is ready to execute an instruction
but is stopped because the external bus is granted to another device. The
other device can release the bus by deasserting bus request. Once the bus
is released, the ADSP-21xx deasserts
BG
and
BGH
and executes the
external access. Figure 10.22 shows timing for the
BGH
signal.

If a memory access is in progress, BG is asserted in
the cycle after the access is completed:
If no memory access is in progress, BG is
asserted in the cycle after BR is recognized:
