BUS INTERFACE UNIT

3.5.5Temporarily Exiting the HALT Bus State

A DMA request, refresh request or bus hold request causes the BIU to exit the HALT bus state temporarily. This can occur only when in the Active or Idle power management mode. The BIU returns to the HALT bus state after it completes the desired bus operation. However, the BIU does not execute another bus HALT cycle (i.e., ALE and bus cycle status are not regenerated). Figures 3-26, 3-27 and 3-28 illustrate how the BIU temporarily exits and then returns to the HALT bus state.
