V DMA BLOCK: IDMA (Intelligent DMA)
B-V-3-10 EPSON S1C33210 FUNCTION PART
Block transfer mode
The channels for which DMOD in control information is set to "10" operate in block transfer mode. In this
mode, a transfer operation invoked by one trigger is completed after transferring one block of data of the size
set by BLKLEN. If a block transfer needs to be performed a number of times as set by the transfer counter, an
equal number of triggers are required.
The operation of IDMA in block transfer mode is shown by the flow chart in Figure 3.3.

Figure 3.3 Operation Flow in Block Transfer Mode
(1) When a trigger is accepted, the address for control information is calculated from the base address and
channel number.
(2) Control information is read from the calculated address into the internal temporary register.
(3) Data of the size set in the control information is read from the source address.
(4) The read data is written to the destination address.
(5) The address is incremented or decremented and BLKLEN is decremented.
(6) Steps (3) to (5) are repeated until BLKLEN reaches 0.
(7) If SRINC and DSINC are "10", the address is recycled to the initial value.
(8) The transfer counter is decremented.
(9) The modified control information is written to RAM.
(10) In the case of a hardware trigger, the interrupt control bits are processed before completing IDMA.
