12.4.2.12 Calibration Bus Operation — MPC5553 Only
The MPC5553 EBI has a second external bus, intended for calibration use. This bus consists of a second
set of the same signals present on the primary external bus (some are shared), except that arbitration, (and
optionally other signals also) are excluded. Both busses are supported by the EBI by using the calibration
chip selects to steer accesses to the calibration bus instead of to the primary external bus.
Because the calibration bus has no arbitration signals, the arbitration on the primary bus controls accesses
on the calibration bus as well, and no external master accesses can be performed on the calibration bus.
Accesses cannot be performed in parallel on both external busses. However, back-to-back accesses can
switch from one bus to the other, as determined by the type of chip select each address matches.
The timing diagrams and protocol for the calibration bus is identical to the primary bus, except that some
signals are missing on the calibration bus.
There is an inherent dead cycle between a calibration chip select access and a non-calibration access (chip
select or non-chip select), just like the one between accesses to two different non-calibration chip selects
(described in Section 12.4.2.4.3, “Back-to-Back Accesses”).
Figure 12-50 shows an example of a non-calibration chip select read access (CSx) followed by a
calibration chip select read access (CAL_CSy). Note that this figure is identical to Figure 12-18, except
the CSy is replaced by CAL_CSy. Timing for other cases on the calibration bus can similarly be derived
from other figures in this document (by replacing CS with CAL_CS).
