Burst Write: The timing chart for a burst write is shown in figure 10.17. In the SH7709S, a burst
write occurs only in the even t of cache write-back or 16-byte DMAC tr ansfer. In a burst write
operation, follo wing the Tr cycle in which ACTV command output is performed, a WRIT
command is issued in the Tc1, Tc2, and Tc3 cycles, and a WRITA command that performs auto-
precharge is issued in the Tc4 cycle. In the write cycle, the write data is output at the same time as
the write command. In case of the write with auto-precharge command, precharging of the
relevant bank is performed in the synchronous DRAM after completion of the write command,
and therefore no command can be issued for the sa me ba nk until pr echargi n g is completed.
Consequently, in addition to the precharge wait cy cle, Tpc, used in a read access, cycle Trwl is
also added as a wait interval until precharging is started following the write command. Issuance of
a ne w c ommand for the same bank is de ferred during this int erval. The number of Trwl cycles can
be specified by the TRWL bits in MCR.
