7.4 Interrupt Source
Compare match interrupts (CMI) can be generated when the refresh controller is used as an
interval timer. Compare match interrupt requests are masked/unmasked with the CMIE bit of
RTMCSR.
7.5 Usage Notes
When using the DRAM or pseudo-static RAM refresh function, note the following points:
•
With the refresh controller, if directly connected DRAM or PSRAM is disconnected*, the
P8

RFSH
/
IRQ

pin and the P8
1
/

/

pin may both become low-level outputs
simultaneously.
Note: * When the DRAM enable bit (DRAME) or PSRAM enable bit (PSRAME) in the refresh
control register (RFSHCR) is cleared to 0 after being set to 1.

•
Refresh cycles are not executed while the bus is released, during software standby mode, and
when a bus cycle is greatly prolonged by insertion of wait states. When these conditions
occur, other means of refreshing are required.
•
If refresh requests occur while the bus is released, the first request is held and one refresh
cycle is executed after the bus-released state ends. Figure 7-24 shows the bus cycles in this
case.
