Figure 10-8. DMA Source Pointer (Low-Order Bits)

The address space referenced by the source and destination pointers is programmed in the DMA Control Register for the channel (see Figure 10-11 on page 10-15). The SMEM and DMEM bits control the address space (memory or I/O) for source pointer and destination pointer, respective- ly.

Automatic pointer indexing is also controlled by the DMA Control Register. Each pointer has two bits, increment and decrement, that control the indexing. If the increment and decrement bits for a pointer are programmed to the same value, then the pointer remains constant. The programmed data width (byte or word) for the channel automatically controls the amount that a pointer is in- cremented or decremented.
