13.7 BUS-HOLD PROTOCOL

The 8XC196Nx supports a bus-hold protocol that allows external devices to gain control of the address/data bus. The protocol uses three signals, all of which are port 2 special functions: HOLD#/P2.5 (bus-hold request), HLDA#/P2.6 (bus-hold acknowledge), and BREQ#/P2.3 (bus request). When an external device wants to use the 8XC196Nx bus, it asserts the HOLD# signal. HOLD# is sampled while CLKOUT is low. The 8XC196Nx responds by releasing the bus and asserting HLDA#. During this hold time, the address/data bus floats, and signals CSx#, ALE, RD#, WR#/WRL#, BHE#/WRH#, and INST are weakly held in their inactive states. Figure 13-16 shows the timing for bus-hold protocol, and Table 13-12 on page 13-31 lists the timing pa- rameters and their definitions. Refer to the datasheet for timing parameter values.
