Chapter 18. Bus Operation 18-31
General Operation of External Master Transfers
Figure 18-31. Three-Wire Bus Arbitration
In Figure 18-31, the external device is bus master during C1 and C2. During C2, the
MCF5407 requests the external bus because of a pending internal transfer. On C3, the
external releases mastership and the external arbiter grants the bus to the MCF5407 by
asserting BG
. At this point, an internal is access pending so the MCF5407 asserts BD
during C4 and begins the access. Thus, the MCF5407 becomes the explicit bus master. Also
during C4, the external arbiter removes the grant from the MCF5407 by negating BG
.
Because the MCF5407 is bus master, it continues to assert BD
until the current transfer
completes. Because BG
is negated, the MCF5407 negates BD during C9 and three-states
the external bus, thereby passing mastership to an external device.
The MCF5407 can assert BR
to signal the external arbiter that it needs the bus. However,
there is no guarantee that when the bus is granted to the MCF5407 that a bus cycle will be
performed. At best, BR
must be used as a status output that indicates when the MCF5407
needs the bus, but not as an indication that the MCF5407 is in a certain bus arbitration state.
Figure 18-32 is a high-level state diagram for MCF5407 bus arbitration protocol.
Table 18-6 describes the four states shown in Figure 18-32.
