Section 8 Data Transfer Controller (DTC)
This LSI includes a data transfer controller (DTC). The DTC can be activated by an interrupt or
software, to transfer data.
Figure 8.1 shows a block diagram of the DTC.
8.1 Features
• Transfer possible over any number of channels
• Three transfer modes
⎯ Normal mode
One operation transfers one byte or one word of data.
Memory address is incremented or decremented by 1 or 2.
From 1 to 65,536 transfers can be specified.
⎯ Repeat mode
One operation transfers one byte or one word of data.
Memory address is incremented or decremented by 1 or 2.
Once the specified number of transfers (1 to 256) has ended, the initial state is restored, and
transfer is repeated.
⎯ Block transfer mode
One operation transfers one block of data.
The block size is 1 to 256 bytes or words.
From 1 to 65,536 transfers can be specified.
Either the transfer source or the transfer destination is designated as a block area.
• One activation source can trigger a number of data transfers (chain transfer)
• Direct specification of 16-Mbyte address space possible
• Activation by software is possible
• Transfer can be set in byte or word units
• A CPU interrupt can be requested for the interrupt that activated the DTC
• Module stop mode can be set
The DTC’s register information is stored in the on-chip RAM. When the DTC is used, the RAME
bit in SYSCR must be set to 1. A 32-bit bus connects the DTC to the on-chip RAM (1 kbyte),
enabling 32-bit/1-state reading and writing of the DTC register information.
