Data
Figure 9-10 on page 478 shows continuous read mode accesses. In this mode, reads are performed
by keeping the read mode selected (output enable is asserted) and then changing the address pins.
The data pins are changed by the SRAM after the address pins change.

FIFO mode accesses are the same as normal read and write accesses, except that the ALE signal
and address pins are not present. Two input signals can be used to indicate when the XFIFO is full
or empty to gate transactions and avoid overruns and underruns. The FFULL and FEMPTY signals
are synchronized and must be recognized as asserted by the microcontroller for 2 system clocks
before they affect transaction status. The MAXWAIT field in the EPIHBnCFG register defines the
maximum number of EPI clocks to wait while the FEMPTY or FFULL signal is holding off a transaction.
Figure 9-11 on page 479 shows how the FEMPTY signal should respond to a write and read from
the XFIFO. Figure 9-12 on page 479 shows how the FEMPTY and FFULL signals should respond
to 2 writes and 1 read from an external FIFO that contains two entries.
