Name:
MATRIX_SCFG0..MATRIX_SCFG4
Address:
0x400E0240
Access:
Read/Write 
• SLOT_CYCLE: Maximum Number of Allowed Cycles for a Burst
When the SLOT_CYCLE limit is reach for a burst, it may be broken by another master trying to access this slave.
This limit has been placed to avoid locking very slow slaves when very long bursts are used.
This limit should not be very small. An unreasonably small value will break every burst and the Bus Matrix will spend its 
time to arbitrate without performing any data transfer. 16 cycles is a reasonable value for SLOT_CYCLE.
• DEFMSTR_TYPE: Default Master Type
• FIXED_DEFMSTR: Fixed Default Master
This is the number of the default master for this slave. Only used if DEFMSTR_TYPE is 2. Specifying the number of a mas-
ter which is not connected to the selected slave is equivalent to setting DEFMSTR_TYPE to 0.

NO_DEFAULT
At the end of current slave access, if no other master request is pending, the slave is 
disconnected from all masters.
This results in having a one cycle latency for the first access of a burst transfer or for a 
single access.
1
LAST
At the end of current slave access, if no other master request is pending, the slave 
stays connected to the last master having accessed it.
This results in not having the one cycle latency when the last master tries to access the 
slave again.
2
FIXED
At the end of the current slave access, if no other master request is pending, the slave 
connects to the fixed master the number that has been written in the 
FIXED_DEFMSTR field.
This results in not having the one cycle latency when the fixed master tries to access 
the slave again.
