7.5.3 Idle Mode
Idle mode can be specified by setting the RPE bit in DMACR and DTIE bit in DMABCRL to 1. In
idle mode, one byte or word is transferred in response to a single transfer request, and this is
executed the number of times specified in ETCR. One address is specified by MAR, and the other
by IOAR. The transfer direction can be specified by the DTDIR bit in DMACR. Table 7.6
summarizes register functions in idle mode.

MAR specifies the start address of the transfer source or transfer destination as 24 bits. MAR is
neither incremented nor decremented by a data transfer. IOAR specifies the lower 16 bits of the
other address. The upper 8 bits of IOAR have a value of H'FF.

The number of transfers is specified as 16 bits in ETCR. ETCR is decremented by 1 each time a
transfer is executed, and when its value reaches H'0000, the DTE bit is cleared and data transfer
