Figure 12-40. Basic Flow Diagram of an External Master Write Cycle
Figure 12-41 and Figure 12-42 describe read and write cycles from an external master accessing internal
space in the MCU. Note that the minimal latency for an external master access is 3 clock cycles. The actual

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.
