6.4.2  Bus Specifications 
The external address space bus specifications consist of five elements: bus width, number of 
access states, number of program wait states, read strobe timing, and chip select (CS) assertion 
period extension states. The bus width and number of access states for on-chip memory and 
internal I/O registers are fixed, and are not affected by the bus controller. 
(1)  Bus Width 
A bus width of 8 or 16 bits can be selected with ABWCR. An area for which an 8-bit bus is 
selected functions as an 8-bit access space, and an area for which a 16-bit bus is selected functions 
as a 16-bit access space. If all areas are designated as 8-bit access space, 8-bit bus mode is set; if 
any area is designated as 16-bit access space, 16-bit bus mode is set. 
(2)  Number of Access States 
Two or three access states can be selected with ASTCR. An area for which 2-state access is 
selected functions as a 2-state access space, and an area for which 3-state access is selected 
functions as a 3-state access space. With the DRAM or synchronous DRAM interface and burst 
ROM interface, the number of access states may be determined without regard to the setting of 
ASTCR. 
When 2-state access space is designated, wait insertion is disabled. When 3-state access space is 
designated, it is possible to insert program waits by means of the WTCRA and WTCRB, and 
external waits by means of the WAIT pin. 
Note:  The synchronous DRAM interface is not supported by the H8S/2426 Group and H8S/2424 
Group. The DRAM interface is not supported by the 5-V version. 
(3)  Number of Program Wait States 
When 3-state access space is designated by ASTCR, the number of program wait states to be 
inserted automatically is selected with WTCRA and WTCRB. From 0 to 7 program wait states can 
be selected. Table 6.2 shows the bus specifications (bus width, and number of access states and 
program wait states) for each basic bus interface area.
