6.3.2 Bus Specifications 
The external space bus specifications consist of three elements: bus width, number of access 
states, and number of program wait states. 
The bus width and number of access states for on-chip memory and internal I/O registers are 
fixed, and are not affected by the bus controller. 
Bus Width: A bus width of 8 or 16 bits can be selected with ABWCR. An area for which an 8-bit 
bus is selected functions as an 8-bit access space, and an area for which a 16-bit bus is selected 
functions as a16-bit access space. 
If all areas are designated for 8-bit access, 8-bit bus mode is set; if any area is designated for 16-bit 
access, 16-bit bus mode is set. When the burst ROM interface is designated, 16-bit bus mode is 
always set. 
Number of Access States: Two or three access states can be selected with ASTCR. An area for 
which 2-state access is selected functions as a 2-state access space, and an area for which 3-state 
access is selected functions as a 3-state access space. 
With the burst ROM interface, the number of access states may be determined without regard to 
ASTCR. 
When 2-state access space is designated, wait insertion is disabled. 
Number of Program Wait States: When 3-state access space is designated by ASTCR, the 
number of program wait states to be inserted automatically is selected with WCRH and WCRL. 
From 0 to 3 program wait states can be selected. 
Table 6.3 shows the bus specifications for each basic bus interface area.
