13.3.15 Notes On Usage - Hitachi SH7751 Hardware Manual

If the SH7751 Series is specified as the master in a power-on reset, it will not accept bus requests
from the slave until the

13.3.15 Notes on Usage

Refresh: Auto refresh operations stop when a transition is made to standby mode or deep-sleep
mode. If the memory system requires refresh operations, set the memory in the self-refresh state
prior to making the transition to standby mode or deep-sleep mode.
Bus Arbitration: On transition to standby mode or deep-sleep mode, the processor in master
mode does not release bus privileges. In systems performing bus arbitration, make the transition to
standby mode or deep-sleep mode only after setting the bus privilege release enable bit
(BCR1.BREQEN) to 0 for the processor in master mode. If the bus privilege release enable bit
remains set to 1, operation cannot be guaranteed when the transition is made to standby mode or
deep-sleep mode.
Simultaneous Use of Refresh and Bus Arbitration: With the SH7751, when performing bus
arbitration using the external device and




When a signal is input from the external device while using DMA transfer or target
transfer by the PCIC, and DRAM/synchronous DRAM is set to CAS-before-RAS refresh and
auto-refresh in master mode (MD7 = 1), bus arbitration may not be performed correctly and
this LSI may hang up.




When a signal is input from the external device while DRAM/synchronous DRAM is
set to CAS-before-RAS refresh and auto-refresh in master mode (MD7 = 1), assertion of the

signal (low-level) in response to the
Both above phenomena can be avoided by not using the
used, disable refresh operations during normal operation. If refresh operations are required, carry
them out at one time with the BREQEN bit in BCR1 cleared to 0.
