7.2.1.1.2  Address Bus Request (BR)ÑInput
Following are the state meaning and timing comments for the BR signal input in external
master mode.
State Meaning
AssertedÑIndicates that the external master has a bus transaction to 
perform and is waiting for a qualiÞed BG to begin the address tenure. 
BR may be asserted even if the two possible pipelined address 
tenures have already been granted.
NegatedÑIndicates that the external master has no bus transaction to 
perform, or if the device is parked, that it is potentially ready to start 
a bus transaction on the next clock cycle (with proper qualiÞcation, 
see BG).
Timing Comments
AssertionÑMay occur on any cycle; does not occur if the external 
master is parked and the address bus is idle (BG asserted and ABB 
input negated).
NegationÑOccurs for at least one cycle after a qualiÞed BG even if 
another transaction is pending; also negated for at least one cycle 
following any qualiÞed ARTRY on the bus unless this chip asserted 
the ARTRY and requires to perform a snoop copyback; may also be 
negated if the external master cancels a bus request internally before 
receiving a qualiÞed BG.
High ImpedanceÑOccurs during a hard reset or checkstop 
condition.
7.2.1.2  Bus Grant (BG)
The address bus grant (BG) signal is both an input and an output signal.
7.2.1.2.1  Bus Grant (BG)ÑInput
The following are the state meaning and timing comments for the BG signal input in
external master mode.
State Meaning
AssertedÑIndicates that the MPC8260 may, with the proper 
qualiÞcation, begin a bus transaction and assume ownership of the 
address bus. A qualiÞed bus grant is generally determined from the 
bus state as follows:  QBG = BG ¥ ÂABB ¥ ÂARTRY where ARTRY 
is asserted only during the cycle after AACK. Note that the assertion 
of BR is not required for a qualiÞed bus grant (for bus parking).
NegatedÑIndicates that the MPC8260 is not granted next address 
ownership.
Timing Comments
AssertionÑMay occur on any cycle. Once the MPC8260 has 
assumed address bus ownership, it does not begin checking for BG 
again until the cycle after AACK.
