External NOP Cycles and Idle Cycles
In consecutive external bus accesses, in which even if the cycles that access no external space
(external NOP cycles) exist, the condition of inserting idle cycles is effective. In this case, the
external NOP cycles are counted as a part of the idle cycles.
Figure 6.37 shows an example of external NOP and idle cycle insertion.
