V DMA BLOCK: HSDMA (High-Speed DMA)
B-V-2-12 EPSON S1C33L03 FUNCTION PART
Operation in Single-Address Mode
The operation of each transfer mode is almost the same as that of dual-address mode (see the previous section).
However, data read/write operation is performed simultaneously in single-address mode.
The following explains the data transfer operation different from dual-address mode.
#DMAACKx signal output and bus operation
When the HSDMA circuit accepts the DMA request, it outputs a low-level pulse from the #DMAACKx pin
and starts bus operation for the memory at the same time.
The contents of this bus operation are as follows:
•Data transfer from I/O device to memory
The address that has been set in the memory address register is output to the address bus.
A write operation is performed under the interface conditions set on the area to which the memory at the
destination of transfer belongs. The data bus is left floating.
The external I/O device outputs the transfer data onto the data bus using the #DMAACKx signal as the read
signal. The memory takes in this data using the write signal.
•Data transfer from memory to an I/O device
The address that has been set in the memory address register is output to the address bus.
A read operation is performed under the interface conditions set on the area to which the memory at the
source of transfer belongs.
The memory outputs the transfer data onto the data bus using the read signal.
The external I/O device takes in the data from the data bus using the #DMAACKx signal as the write signal.
If the transfer data size is 16 bits and the I/O device is an 8-bit device, two bus operations are performed.
Otherwise, transfer is completed in one bus operation.
#DMAENDx signal output
When the transfer counter reaches 0, the end-of-transfer signal is output from the #DMAENDx pin indicating
that a specified number of transfers has been completed. At the same time, the interrupt factor for the
completion of HSDMA is generated.
