DIRECT MEMORY ACCESS

CONTROLLER (DMA)

The Direct Memory Access (DMA) Controller is designed

to service high throughput data peripherals operating on

the SFR bus, allowing them to access data memory

directly and alleviating the need for CPU-intensive man-

agement. By allowing these data-intensive peripherals to

share their own data path, the main data bus is also

deloaded, resulting in additional power savings.

The DMA Controller functions both as a peripheral and a

direct extension of the CPU. It is located on the micro-

controller data bus, between the CPU and DMA-enabled

peripherals, with direct access to SRAM. This partitions

the SFR bus into two buses, allowing the DMA Controller

access to the DMA-capable peripherals located on the

new DMA SFR bus. The controller serves as a Master

device on the DMA SFR bus, controlling data flow from

DMA-capable peripherals.

The controller also monitors CPU instruction process-

ing directly, allowing it to be aware of when the CPU

requires access to peripherals on the DMA bus and

automatically relinquishing control to the CPU as

needed. This increases the effective bandwidth for

handling data without DMA operations causing a

processor Stall. This makes the controller essentially

transparent to the user.

The DMA Controller has these features:

• Six Independent and Independently

Programmable Channels

• Concurrent Operation with the CPU (no DMA

caused Wait states)

• DMA Bus Arbitration

• Five Programmable Address modes

• Four Programmable Transfer modes

• Four Flexible Internal Data Transfer modes

• Byte or Word Support for Data Transfer

• 16-Bit Source and Destination Address Register

for Each Channel, Dynamically Updated and

Reloadable

• 16-Bit Transaction Count Register, Dynamically

Updated and Reloadable

• Upper and Lower Address Limit Registers

• Counter Half-Full Level Interrupt

• Software Triggered Transfer

• Null Write mode for Symmetric Buffer Operations

A simplified block diagram of the DMA Controller is

shown in Figure 5-1.
