4.5 Bus Arbitration
4.5.1 Bus request and bus grant
An external bus master can request that the TMPR3901F grant control of the bus. This is done by
asserting the BUSREQ* signal. In response, the TMPR3901F will release the bus and assert a
BUSGNT* signal.
If BUSREQ* is asserted, while the TMPR3901F is already engaged in a bus operation cycle, the
TMPR3901F will not relinquish the bus until that cycle is completed.
Figure 4-8 shows timing for a bus request and bus grant during which the TMPR3901F relinquishes
the bus and an external bus master acquires the bus.
