Note that there are a few exceptions for this mode of operation when PAGES1 and PAGES2 are set to 00b: 
PSEN
 is asserted for both a page hit and a page miss for a full clock cycle. 
The execution of external MOVX instruction causes a page miss. 
A page miss occurs when fetching the next external instruction following the execution of an external MOVX 
instruction. 
Figure 10
 shows the external memory cycle for this bus structure. The first case illustrates a back-to-back 
execution sequence for the one-cycle page mode (PAGES1 = PAGES0 = 0b). 
PSEN
 remains active during page hit 
cycles, and page misses are forced during and after MOVX executions, independent of the most significant byte of 
the subsequent addresses. The second case illustrates a MOVX execution sequence for two-cycle page mode 
(PAGES1 = 0 and PAGES0 = 1). 
PSEN
 is active for a full clock cycle in code fetches. Note that changing the most 
significant byte of the data address causes the page misses in this sequence. The third case illustrates a MOVX 
execution sequence for four-cycle page mode (PAGES1 = 1 and PAGES0 = 0). There is no page miss in this 
execution cycle as the most significant byte of the data address is assumed to match the last program address. 
The second page mode (page mode 2) external bus structure multiplexes the most significant address byte with 
data on P2 and uses P0 for the least significant address byte. This bus structure is used to speed up external code 
fetches only. External data memory access cycles are identical to the nonpage mode except for the different 
signals on P0 and P2. 
Figure 11
 illustrates the memory cycle for external code fetches.

Stretch External Data Memory Cycle in Page Mode 
The DS89C430 allows software to adjust the speed of external data memory access by stretching the memory bus 
cycle in page mode operation just like nonpage mode operation. The following tables summarize the stretch values 
and their effect on the external MOVX memory bus cycle and the control signals’ pulse width in terms of the 
number of oscillator clocks. A stretch machine cycle always contains four system clocks, independent of the logic 
value of the page mode select bits.
