AHB transfer types
The ARM966E-S can perform IDLE, NONSEQ, and SEQ transfers. Depending on the
implementation of the AHB system to which the ARM966E-S is connected, a varying
number of
HCLK
cycles are required for the NONSEQ and SEQ transfers. Typically,
a NONSEQ cycle requires a two-cycle response from the selected slave, whereas a SEQ
cycle can be handled in a single cycle. The IDLE cycle takes one
HCLK
cycle by
definition.
For each
HCLK
cycle required by the AHB transfer,
R
internal
CLK
cycles are taken.
The AHB transfer cycles are converted to
CLK
by multiplying by
R,
the
CLK
to
HCLK
ratio, as shown in Table 11-3
Table 11-4 lists the types of AHB transfers performed by the ARM966E-S and the
number of
CLK
cycles required to perform them. This table indicates cycles where the
ARM9E-S core must be stalled until one or more AHB accesses have completed, that
is, for reads and unbuffered writes.
