In addition, DMA transfers can be triggered by timers
as well as external interrupts. Each DMA channel is
unidirectional. Two DMA channels must be allocated to
read and write to a peripheral. If more than one channel
receives a request to transfer data, a simple fixed
priority scheme based on channel number, dictates
which channel completes the transfer and which
channel, or channels, are left pending. Each DMA
channel moves a block of data, after which, it generates
an interrupt to the CPU to indicate that the block is
available for processing.
The DMA Controller provides these functional
capabilities:
• Four DMA channels
• Register Indirect with Post-Increment
Addressing mode
• Register Indirect without Post-Increment
Addressing mode
• Peripheral Indirect Addressing mode (peripheral
generates destination address)
• CPU interrupt after half or full block
transfer complete
• Byte or word transfers
• Fixed priority channel arbitration
• Manual (software) or automatic (peripheral DMA
requests) transfer initiation
• One-Shot or Auto-Repeat Block Transfer modes
• Ping-Pong mode (automatic switch between two
SRAM start addresses after each block transfer is
complete)
• DMA request for each channel can be selected
from any supported interrupt source
• Debug support features
The peripherals that can utilize DMA are listed in
Table 8-1.
