Wait Control
When accessing external space, this LSI can extend the bus cycle by inserting one or more wait
states (T
). There are two ways of inserting wait states: program wait insertion and pin wait
w
insertion using the WAIT pin.
Program Wait Insertion: From 0 to 7 wait states can be inserted automatically between the T
state and T
state on an individual area basis in 3-state access space, according to the settings in

WTCRA and WTCRB.
Pin Wait Insertion: Setting the WAITE bit to 1 in BCR enables wait input by means of the
WAIT pin. When external space is accessed in this state, a program wait is first inserted in
accordance with the settings in WTCRA and WTCRB. If the WAIT pin is low at the falling edge

the number of T
states to be inserted for different external devices. The WAITE bit setting
w
applies to all areas. Figure 6.17 shows an example of wait state insertion timing.
The settings after a reset are: 3-state access, insertion of 7 program wait states, and WAIT input
disabled.
