DMA CONTROLLER

13.1 Overview

The DMA controller (hereafter called DMAC) transfers data using the bus and bypassing the CPU. DMAC

of the M37721 provides four independent channels of DMA0–DMA3, which have the same function each.

In this chapter, the source and destination of each DMA transfer are represented as follows.

q Memory

A device which needs its own address to be specified

Examples: Internal RAM and SFRs, external memory, and memory-mapped I/Os

q I/O

A device which does not need its own address to be specified

Example: External I/O devices
