MSM6562B-xx
11. Data Bus with CPU
The MSM6562B-xx has either a one-step access in 8 bits or a two-step access in 4 bits to execute
an instruction so that the MSM6562B-xx can interface with both an 8-bit CPU and a 4-bit CPU.
(1) When the interface data length is 8 bits
Data buses DB0 to DB7 (8 lines) are all used and data input/output is carried out in one
step.
(2) When the interface data length is 4 bits
The 8-bit data input/output is carried out in two steps by using only high-order 4 bits of
data buses DB4 to DB7 (4 lines).
The first time data input/output is made for high-order 4 bits (DB4 to DB7 when the
interfaces data length is 8 bits) and the second time data input/output is made for low-
order 4 bits (DB0 to DB3 when the interface data length is 8 bits). Even when the data
input/output can be completely made through high-order 4 bits, be sure to make another
input/output of low-order 4 bits. (Example : Busy flag read)
Since the data input/output is carried out in two steps but as one execution, no normal
data transfer is executed from the next input/output if accessed only once.
