Figure 5-14. Misaligned Word Operand Read from Word Bus Example
Figures 5-15 and 5-16 show an example of a long-word transfer (write) to an odd address
in long-word-organized memory. In this example, a long-word access is attempted
beginning at the least significant byte of a long-word-organized memory. Only one byte
can be transferred in the first bus cycle. The second bus cycle then consists of a three-
byte access to a long-word boundary. Since the memory is long word organized, no
further bus cycles are necessary. Figure 5-17 shows the equivalent operation for a data
read cycle.
