11.7.2  Chain Transfer when Transfer Counter = 0 
By executing the second data transfer, and performing re-setting of the first data transfer, only 
when the counter value for the first data transfer is 0, 256 or more repeat transfers can be 
performed. 
An example is shown in which a 128-Kbyte input buffer is configured. The input buffer is 
assumed to have been set to start at lower address H'0000. Figure 11.13 shows overview of the 
chain transfer when the counter value is 0. 
1.  For the first transfer, set the normal mode for input data. Set fixed transfer source address 
(G/A, etc.), CRA = H'0000 (65,536 times), and CHNE = 1, CHNS = 1, and DISEL = 0. 
2.  Prepare the upper 8-bit addresses of the start addresses for each of the 65,536 transfer start 
addresses for the first data transfer in a separate area (in ROM, etc.). For example, if the input 
buffer comprises H'200000 to H'21FFFF, prepare H'21 and H'20. 
3.  For the second transfer, set repeat mode (with the source side as the repeat area) for re-setting 
the transfer destination address for the first data transfer. Use the upper 8 bits of DAR in the 
first register information area as the transfer destination. Set CHNE = DISEL = 0. If the above 
input buffer is specified as H'200000 to H'21FFFF, set the transfer counter to 2. 
4.  Execute the first data transfer 65,536 times by means of interrupts. When the transfer counter 
for the first data transfer reaches 0, the second data transfer is started. Set the upper 8 bits of 
the transfer source address for the first data transfer to H'21. The lower 16 bits of the transfer 
destination address of the first data transfer and the transfer counter are H'0000. 
5.  Next, execute the first data transfer the 65,536 times specified for the first data transfer by 
interrupts. When the transfer counter for the first data transfer reaches 0, the second data 
transfer is started. Set the upper 8 bits of the transfer source address for the first data transfer to 
H'20. The lower 16 bits of the transfer destination address of the first data transfer is H'0000. 
6.  Steps 4 and 5 are repeated endlessly. As repeat mode is specified for the second data transfer, 
an interrupt request is not sent to the CPU.
