External Bus Interface (EBI)

Table 12-24 summarizes how the EBI recognizes the termination signals provided from an external device.
Figure 12-37 shows an example of the termination signals protocol for back-to-back reads to two different
slave devices who properly take turns driving the termination signals. This assumes a system using slave
devices that drive termination signals.

driven TEA and TA.

Action
Negated Negated No termination
Asserted – Transfer error termination
Negated Asserted Normal transfer termination
The EBI drives address and control signals an extra cycle because it uses a latched version of TA
*
This is the earliest that the EBI can start another transfer, in the case of continuing a set of small accesses.
For all other cases, an extra cycle is needed before the EBI can start another TS.
