Bus Release
This LSI can release the external bus in response to a bus request from an external device. In the
external bus released state, internal bus masters continue to operate as long as there is no external
access. If any of the following requests are issued in the external bus released state, the BREQO
signal can be driven low to output a bus request externally.
• When an internal bus master wants to perform an external access
• When a refresh request is generated
• When a SLEEP instruction is executed to place the chip in software standby mode or all-
module-clocks-stopped mode
6.10.1
Operation
In externally expanded mode, the bus can be released to an external device by setting the BRLE
bit to 1 in BCR. Driving the BREQ pin low issues an external bus request to this LSI. When the
BREQ pin is sampled, at the prescribed timing the BACK pin is driven low, and the address bus,
data bus, and bus control signals are placed in the high-impedance state, establishing the external
bus released state.
