5.6.3 Fast Termination Cycles
When an external device has a fast access time, the chip-select circuit fast termination
option can provide a two-cycle external bus transfer. Because the chip-select circuits
are driven from the system clock, the bus cycle termination is inherently synchronized
with the system clock.
If multiple chip-selects are to be used to provide control signals to a single device and
match conditions occur simultaneously, all MODE, STRB, and associated DSACK
fields must be programmed to the same value. This prevents a conflict on the internal
bus when the wait states are loaded into the DSACK counter shared by all chip-
selects.
Fast termination cycles use internal handshaking signals generated by the chip-select
logic. To initiate a transfer, the MCU asserts an address and the SIZ[1:0] signals.
When AS, DS, and R/W are valid, a peripheral device either places data on the bus
(read cycle) or latches data from the bus (write cycle). At the appropriate time, chip-
select logic asserts data and size acknowledge signals.
The DSACK option fields in the chip-select option registers determine whether inter-
nally generated DSACK or externally generated DSACK is used. The external DSACK
lines are always active, regardless of the setting of the DSACK field in the chip-select
option registers. Thus, an external DSACK can always terminate a bus cycle. Holding
a DSACK line low will cause all external bus cycles to be three-cycle (zero wait states)
accesses unless the chip-select option register specifies fast accesses.
For fast termination cycles, the fast termination encoding (%1110) must be used. Re-
To use fast termination, an external device must be fast enough to have data ready
within the specified setup time (for example, by the falling edge of S4). Refer to Table
A-6 and Figures A-6 and A-7 for information about fast termination timing.
When fast termination is in use, DS is asserted during read cycles but not during write
cycles. The STRB field in the chip-select option register used must be programmed
with the address strobe encoding to assert the chip-select signal for a fast termination
write.
5.6.4 CPU Space Cycles
Function code signals FC[2:0] designate which of eight external address spaces is ac-
cessed during a bus cycle. Address space 7 is designated CPU space. CPU space is
used for control information not normally associated with read or write bus cycles.
for more information on codes and encoding.
During a CPU space access, ADDR[19:16] are encoded to reflect the type of access
being made. Figure 5-12 shows the three encodings used by 68300 family microcon-
trollers. These encodings represent breakpoint acknowledge (Type $0) cycles, low
power stop broadcast (Type $3) cycles, and interrupt acknowledge (Type $F) cycles.
Refer to 5.8 Interrupts for information about interrupt acknowledge bus cycles.
