12.4.2.10.2 Bus Transfers Initiated by an External Master
The external master gets ownership of the bus (see Section 12.4.2.8, “Arbitration”) and asserts TS in order
to initiate an external master access. The access is directed to the internal bus only if the input address
matches to the internal address space. The access is terminated with either TA or TEA. If the access was
successfully completed, the MCU asserts TA, and the external master can proceed with another external
master access, or relinquish the bus. If an address or data error was detected internally, the MCU asserts
TEA for one clock.
Figure 12-39 and Figure 12-40 illustrate the basic flow of read and write external master accesses.

This refers to whether the external master device is configured for external or internal arbitration.
*
External arbiter is the EBI unless a central arbiter device is used.
**
Determined by the internal arbiter of the external master device.
