(4) DMA pending instruction 
Even if a DMA request is generated, DMA transfer is held pending immediately after the following instructions. 
• CALL  !addr16 
• CALL  $!addr20 
• CALL  !!addr20 
• CALL  rp 
• CALLT  [addr5] 
• BRK 
•  Bit manipulation instructions for registers IF0L, IF0H, IF1L, IF1H, IF2L, MK0L, MK0H, MK1L, MK1H, MK2L, 
PR00L, PR00H, PR01L, PR01H, PR02L, PR10L, PR10H, PR11L, PR11H, PR12L, and PSW each. 
• Instruction for accessing the data flash memory
(5)  Operation if address in general-purpose register area or other than those of internal RAM area is specified 
The address indicated by DMA RAM address register n (DRAn) is incremented during DMA transfer. If the 
address is incremented to an address in the general-purpose register area or exceeds the area of the internal 
RAM, the following operation is performed. 
 In mode of transfer from SFR to RAM 
The data of that address is lost. 
 In mode of transfer from RAM to SFR 
Undefined data is transferred to SFR. 
In either case, malfunctioning may occur or damage may be done to the system. Therefore, make sure that the 
address is within the internal RAM area other than the general-purpose register area.

(6)  Operation if instructions for accessing the data flash area 
•  Because DMA transfer is suspended to access to the data flash area, be sure to add the DMA pending 
instruction. 
If the data flash area is accessed after an next instruction execution from start of DMA transfer, a 3-clock wait 
will be inserted to the next instruction. 
Instruction 1 
DMA transfer 
Instruction 2 The wait of three clock cycles occurs.
