10.3

Programmable Wait

When the memory space is divided into eight spaces, a wait state can be separately inserted for each memory

space while the RD or WR signal is active. This prevents the overall system efficiency from being degraded even

when memory devices having different access times are connected.

In addition, an address wait function that extends the ASTB signal active period is provided to produce a longer

address decode time. (This function is set for the entire space.)

10.4

Pseudo-Static RAM Refresh Function

Refresh is performed as follows:

• Pulse refresh

: A bus cycle is inserted where a refresh pulse is output on the REFRQ pin at regular

intervals. When the memory space is divided into eight, and a specified area

is being accessed, refresh pulses can also be output on the REFRQ pin as the

memory is being accessed. This can prevent the refresh cycle from suspending

normal memory access.

• Power-down self-refresh : In standby mode, a low-level signal is output on the REFRQ pin to maintain the

contents of pseudo-static RAM.

10.5

Bus Hold Function

A bus hold function is provided to facilitate connection to devices such as a DMA controller. Suppose that a bus

hold request signal (HLDRQ) is received from an external bus master. In this case, upon the completion of the bus

cycle being performed, the address bus, address/data bus, ASTB, RD, and WR pins are placed in the high-impedance

state, and the bus hold acknowledge signal (HLDAK) is made active to release the bus for the external bus master.

While the bus hold function is being used, the external wait and pseudo-static RAM refresh functions are disabled.
