29.12.2 Frozen Mode
When the external device asserts the NWAIT signal (active low), and after internal synchronization of this signal, the 
SMC state is frozen, i.e., SMC internal counters are frozen, and all control signals remain unchanged. When the 
resynchronized NWAIT signal is deasserted, the SMC completes the access, resuming the access from the point where 
it was stopped. See 
. This mode must be selected when the external device uses the NWAIT signal to delay 
the access and to freeze the SMC.
The assertion of the NWAIT signal outside the expected period is ignored as illustrated in 
Figure 29-26.Write Access with NWAIT Assertion in Frozen Mode (EXNW_MODE = 10)
