15.0 DMA Operation (PD6722 only)
15.1
DMA Capabilities of the PD6722
The PD6722 include support of a DMA-capable PC Card slave and the movement of DMA data to/
from the card with the ISA bus as a DMA master.
Only one socket at a time should be enabled for DMA transfer because the ISA bus DMA
handshake signals are shared between both socket interfaces.
DMA transfers to and from the DMA-capable PC Card may be 8- or 16-bit, as indicated by the size
of the ISA bus DMA cycle.
Note: Transfer size at socket interface is the same as transfer size on an ISA bus. For 8-bit DMA
transfers, connect PD6722 DMA handshake signals to ISA bus DMA channels 0, 1, 2, or 3. For 16-
bit transfers, connect PD6722 DMA handshake signals to ISA bus DMA channels 5, 6, or 7.
15.2
DMA-Type PC Card Cycles
Transfer of DMA data to or from a card is achieved through use of a special DMA-type PC Card
interface cycle. This cycle is defined to not conflict with standard PC Card memory or I/O cycles.
A card that is DMA-capable can distinguish PC Card interface cycle types presented by the
PD6722 according to the following table:
Table 19. Four Card Cycle Types for DMA-Type PC Card Interface
Socket Interface Cycle Type
Card Memory Read/Write
Attribute Memory Read/Write
Card I/O Read/Write
Card DMA Data Read/Write
Function of -WE/-OE
Data transfer signaling
Data transfer signaling
Always inactive high
Terminal count outputs
Function of
-IORD/-IOWR
Always inactive high
Always inactive high
Data transfer signaling
Data transfer signaling
Function of -REG
Always inactive high
Always low
Low = non-DMA I/O cycle
High = DMA cycle
Note: Bits 7 and 6 of the Extension Control 1 register must be nonzero for Table 19 to be true; otherwise
only standard PC Card cycles will be issued to the card.
The PC Card address is also undefined during the DMA read or write cycle.
Card DMA data read and write cycles transfer DMA data to or from a DMA-capable PC Card.
These cycles are distinguished from normal card I/O cycles by the -REG signal being high during
the cycle, which is an undefined condition in the PC Card Standard.
