NOTES
1)“N” means negated; “A” means asserted; “EM” means external master.
2)End of Cycle: Whatever terminates a bus transaction whether it is normal or bus error. Note that bus cycles that 
result from a burst inhibited transfer are considered part of that original transfer.
The MCF5206e can be in any one of four arbitration states during bus operation: reset, 
external master ownership, implicit ownership, and explicit ownership.
The MCF5206e enters the reset state whenever RSTI or software watchdog reset is 
asserted in any bus arbitration state. When RSTI and the software watchdog reset are 
negated, the MCF5206e proceeds to the implicit ownership state or external master 
ownership state, depending on BG.
The external master ownership state denotes the MCF5206e does not have ownership 
(BG negated) of the bus and the MCF5206e does not drive the bus. The MCF5206e can 
assert memory control signals (i.e., CS[7:0], WE[3:0], RAS[1:0] or CAS[3:0]) and transfer 
acknowledge (TA) during this state.
The implicit ownership state indicates that the MCF5206e owns the bus because BG is 
asserted to it. The MCF5206e, however, is not ready to begin a bus cycle and the bus lock 
bit in the SIM Configuration Register (SIMR) is cleared. In this case, the MCF5206e keeps 
the bus three-stated until an internal bus request occurs or the bus lock bit in the SIMR is 
set to 1.
The MCF5206e explicitly owns the bus when the bus is granted to it (BG asserted) and at 
least one bus cycle has been initiated or the bus lock bit in the SIMR is set to 1. The 
MCF5206e asserts BD
 in this state to indicate the MCF5206e has explicit ownership of 
the bus. Until BG
 is negated, the MCF5206e retains explicit ownership of the bus whether 
or not active bus cycles are being executed. Once BG is negated and the bus lock bit in 
the SIMR is cleared, the MCF5206e relinquishes the bus at the end of the current bus 
cycle. When the MCF5206e is ready to relinquish the bus, it negates BD and three-states 
the bus signals.
6.9.2 Multiple External Bus Master Arbitration Protocol (Three-Wire 
Mode)
The three-wire mode of bus arbitration allows the MCF5206e to share the external bus 
with any number of external bus masters. In this mode, an external arbiter must be 
provided to assign priorities to each of the possible bus masters and determine which 
master should be allowed use of the external bus. The bus arbitration signals of the
