• Relationship between Refresh Requests and Bus Cycle Requests
If a refresh reques t is generated during exe c u tion of a bus cycle, ex ecuti on of the refresh is
deferred until the bus cycle is completed. If a refresh request occurs when the bus has been
released by the bus arbiter, refresh execution is deferred until the bus is acquired. If a match
between RTCNT and RTCOR occurs while a refresh is waiting to be executed, so that a new
refresh request is generated, the previous refresh request is eliminated. In order for refreshing
to be performed normally, ca re must b e taken to ensur e that no bus cyc le o r bus right occu r s
that is longer than the refresh interval. When a refresh request is generated, the IRQOUT pin is
asserted (driven low). Therefore, normal refreshing can be performed by having the IRQOUT
pin mon itored by a bus master other than the SH7709S re questing the bus, or the bus ar bi t e r,
and returning the bus to the SH7709S. When refreshing is started, and if no other interrupt
request has been generated, the IRQOUT pin is negated (driven high).
