10-24 March, 2003 Developers Manual

Intel® 80200 Processor based on Intel® XScale Microarchitecture
External Bus
10.3.10 Hold

Figure10-14 shows an example of hold being asserted to stop new transactions being issued. The

Intel® 80200 processor floats the issue bus pins and issues no transactions until HldA is deasserted.

The Hold signal assertion does not affect the data bus, which continues to operate normally. Read

data for requests A and B continue to return.

“Rd C” shows the Intel® 80200 processor requesting another access after Hold has been

deasserted. If Hold had continued to be asserted, another bus master could take control of the

request bus.
