A bus controller capable of shortening the time required before a flush is completed so as not to degrade the performance of a processor. A bus controller includes: a FIFO for temporarily holding, on a first-in first-out basis, data to be stored from a processor into a memory; a flush pointer for holding a pointer which indicates end data held by the FIFO at a time when a trigger signal is received; a memory control unit for writing a portion of the data held by the FIFO into the memory according to the trigger signal so as to partially flush the FIFO, the portion ranging from start data through end data indicated by the flush pointer; and a wait circuit for generating a wait signal for a specific access instruction, which is executed by the processor, until the memory control unit completes the partial flush.
