DMA source/destination address modification
The DMA provides flexible address-indexing modes for easy implementation of data management schemes
such as autobuffering and circular buffers. Source and destination addresses can be indexed separately and
can be post-incremented, post-decremented, or post-incremented with a specified index offset.
DMA in autoinitialization mode
The DMA can automatically reinitialize itself after completion of a block transfer. Some of the DMA registers can
be preloaded for the next block transfer through the DMA global reload registers (DMGSA, DMGDA, and
DMGCR). Autoinitialization allows:
D Continuous operation: Normally, the CPU would have to reinitialize the DMA immediately after the
completion of the current block transfers, but with the global reload registers, it can reinitialize these values
for the next block transfer any time after the current block transfer begins.
D Repetitive operation: The CPU does not preload the global reload register with new values for each block
transfer but only loads them on the first block transfer.
DMA transfer counting
The DMA channel element count register (DMCTRx) and the frame count register (DMFRCx) contain bit fields
that represent the number of frames and the number of elements per frame to be transferred.
D Frame count. This 8-bit value defines the total number of frames in the block transfer. The maximum
number of frames per block transfer is 128 (FRAME COUNT= 0ffh). The counter is decremented upon the
last read transfer in a frame transfer. Once the last frame is transferred, the selected 8-bit counter is
reloaded with the DMA global frame reload register (DMGFR) if the AUTOINIT bit is set to 1. A frame count
of 0 (default value) means the block transfer contains a single frame.
D Element count. This 16-bit value defines the number of elements per frame. This counter is decremented
after the read transfer of each element. The maximum number of elements per frame is 65536
(DMCTRn = 0ffffh). In autoinitialization mode, once the last frame is transferred, the counter is reloaded with
the DMA global count reload register (DMGCR).
DMA transfer in double-word mode
Double-word mode allows the DMA to transfer 32-bit words in any index mode. In double-word mode, two
consecutive 16-bit transfers are initiated and the source and destination addresses are automatically updated
following each transfer. In this mode, each 32-bit word is considered to be one element.
DMA channel index registers
The particular DMA channel index register is selected by way of the SIND and DIND fields in the DMA mode
control register (DMMCRx). Unlike basic address adjustment, in conjunction with the frame index DMFRI0 and
DMFRI1, the DMA allows different adjustment amounts depending on whether or not the element transfer is
the last in the current frame. The normal adjustment value (element index) is contained in the element index
registers DMIDX0 and DMIDX1. The adjustment value (frame index) for the end of the frame, is determined by
the selected DMA frame index register, either DMFRI0 or DMFRI1.
The element index and the frame index affect address adjustment as follows:
D Element index: For all except the last transfer in the frame, the element index determines the amount to be
added to the DMA channel for the source/destination address register (DMSRCx/DMDSTx) as selected by
the SIND/DIND bits.
D Frame index: If the transfer is the last in a frame, frame index is used for address adjustment as selected
by the SIND/DIND bits. This occurs in both single-frame and multi-frame transfers.
