External Bus Interface (EBI)
MPC5566 Microcontroller Reference Manual, Rev. 2
Freescale Semiconductor 12-61
Table 12-25 shows the 3-bit values that indicate slaves in the MCU, as well as the resulting upper 12 
address bits required to appropriately match up with the memory map of each internal slave.
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 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.

Value on upper 4 bits of 24-bit external address bus ADDR[8:31]. ADDR[8] determines whether the access is on 
or off chip.

Value on upper 8 bits of 32-bit internal address bus.

Value on bits 8:11 of 32-bit internal address bus.
