8.4.3.6 Effect of Port Size on Data Transfers
The MPC8260 can transfer operands through its 64-bit data port. If the transfer is controlled
by the internal memory controller, the MPC8260 can support 8-, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit data
port sizes. The bus requires that the portion of the data bus used for a transfer to or from a
particular port size be Þxed. A 64-bit port must reside on data bus bits D[0Ð63], a 32-bit
port must reside on bits D[0Ð31], a 16-bit port must reside on bits D[0Ð15], and an 8-bit
port must reside on bits D[0Ð7]. The MPC8260 always tries to transfer the maximum
amount of data on all bus cycles: for a word operation, it always assumes the port is 64 bits
wide when beginning the bus cycle; for burst and extended byte cycles, a 64-bit bus is
assumed.

Figure 8-6 shows the device connections on the data bus. Table 8-8 lists the bytes required
on the data bus for read cycles.
