Where possible the ARM7TDMI processor broadcasts the address for the next access,
so that decode can start, but the memory controller must not commit to a memory
access. This is shown in Figure 3-4 and, is further described in
Nonsequential memory
cycle
on page 3-6.

Merged IS cycles
Where possible, the ARM7TDMI processor performs an optimization on the bus to
allow extra time for memory decode. When this happens, the address of the next
memory cycle is broadcast on this bus during an internal cycle. This enables the
memory controller to decode the address, but it must not initiate a memory access
during this cycle. In a merged IS cycle, the next cycle is a sequential cycle to the same
memory location. This commits to the access, and the memory controller must initiate
the memory access. This is shown in Figure 3-5 on page 3-9.
