BRT

0

 

Bus Release Timing

 

 

 

 

Selects between fast or slow bus release. If BRT is cleared, a Fast Bus

 

 

 

 

Release mode is selected (that is, no additional cycles are added to the

 

 

 

 

access and BB is not guaranteed to be the last Port A pin that is tri-stated

 

 

 

 

at the end of the access). If BRT is set, a Slow Bus Release mode is

 

 

 

 

selected (that is, an additional cycle is added to the access, and BB is the

 

 

 

 

last Port A pin that is tri-stated at the end of the access).

 

 

 

 

 

 

11

TAS

0

 

 

Synchronize Select

 

 

TA

 

 

 

 

Selects the synchronization method for the input Port A pin—TA

(Transfer

 

 

 

 

Acknowledge). If TAS is cleared, you are responsible for asserting the TA

 

 

 

 

pin in synchrony with the chip clock, as described in the technical data

 

 

 

 

sheet. If TAS is set, the TA input pin is synchronized inside the chip, thus

 

 

 

 

eliminating the need for an off-chip synchronizer.

 

 

 

 

Note:

 

 

 

 

 

The TAS bit has no effect when the

TA

pin is deasserted: you are

 

 

 

 

 

 

responsible for deasserting the TA pin in synchrony with the chip

 

 

 

 

 

 

clock, regardless of the value of TAS.

BE

0

 

Cache Burst Mode Enable

 

 

 

 

Enables/disables Burst mode in the memory expansion port during an

 

 

 

 

instruction cache miss. If the bit is cleared, Burst mode is disabled and

 

 

 

 

only one program word is fetched from the external memory when an

 

 

 

 

instruction cache miss condition is detected. If the bit is set, Burst mode is

 

 

 

 

enabled, and up to four program words are fetched from the external

 

 

 

 

memory when an instruction cache miss is detected.

 

 

 

 

 

9–8

CDP[1–0]

11

 

Core-DMA Priority

 

 

 

 

Specify the priority of core and DMA accesses to the external bus.

 

 

 

 

ν 00 = Determined by comparing status register CP[1–0] to the active

 

 

 

 

 

DMA channel priority

 

 

 

 

ν 01 = DMA accesses have higher priority than core accesses

 

 

 

 

ν 10 = DMA accesses have the same priority as the core accesses

 

 

 

 

ν 11 = DMA accesses have lower priority than the core accesses

MS

0

 

Memory Switch Mode

 

 

 

 

Allows some internal data memory (X, Y, or both) to become part of the

 

 

 

 

chip internal Program RAM.

 

 

 

 

Notes:

1. Program data placed in the Program RAM/Instruction Cache

 

 

 

 

 

 

area changes its placement after the OMR[MS] bit is set

 

 

 

 

 

 

(that is, the Instruction Cache always uses the lowest

 

 

 

 

 

 

internal Program RAM addresses).

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. To ensure proper operation, place six NOP instructions after

 

 

 

 

 

 

the instruction that changes the MS bit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. To ensure proper operation, do not set the MS bit while the

 

 

 

 

 

 

Instruction Cache is enabled (SR[CE] bit is set).
