  • Publication number: 20080320178
    Abstract: A DMA transfer apparatus 101 is equipped with a DMA control block 102 and a FIFO-incorporated block 103. The DMA control block 102 is connected, as a bus master, to a DMA bus capable of burst transfer and having a function of controlling a burst transfer by generating burst access for sending data consecutively a certain number of times while incrementing the address after sending a command. The FIFO-incorporated block 103 is connected the DMA bus as its slave and having a FIFO whose address is mapped to a continuous address space. An arrangement is provided so that a parameter dedicated to FIFO transfer can be set in an addressing mode setting register of a control register group of the DMA control block 102, whereby a burst transfer to or from the FIFO whose address is mapped to the continuous address space is controlled.
