5.4.3 Access by bus size
The V850ES/JG3-H and V850ES/JH3-H access the on-chip peripheral I/O and external memory in 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-
bit units. The bus size is as follows.
• The bus size of the on-chip peripheral I/O is fixed to 16 bits.
• The bus size of the external memory is selectable from 8 bits or 16 bits (by using the BSC register).
The operation when each of the above is accessed is described below. All data is accessed starting from the lower side.
The V850ES/JG3-H and V850ES/JH3-H support only the little-endian format.

(1) Data space
The V850ES/JG3-H and V850ES/JH3-H have an address misalign function.
With this function, data can be placed at all addresses, regardless of the format of the data (word data or halfword
data). However, if the word data or halfword data is not aligned at the boundary, a bus cycle is generated at least
twice, causing the bus efficiency to drop.
(a) Halfword-length data access
A byte-length bus cycle is generated twice if the least significant bit of the address is 1.
(b) Word-length data access
(i) A byte-length bus cycle, halfword-length bus cycle, and byte-length bus cycle are generated in that order if
the least significant bit of the address is 1.
(ii) A halfword-length bus cycle is generated twice if the lower 2 bits of the address are 10.
