General Control Register

VMEbus Address: Base Address + FF (hex)

Attributes: Read/Write, Internal to DMAC

7 654 3210

0 0 0 0 BT BR R/W

When the transfer mode is cycle steal with hold, the General Control Register (GCR) is used to

define how long the DMAC, after transferring the last byte, will wait for another DMA request

before relinquishing the bus. The DMAC will retain control of the bus unless the device (TLC)

pauses. The TLC is determined to have paused if it does not make any requests during a full

sample interval after the previous operand was transferred. The sample interval is programmed

via the GCR and is expressed in clock cycles. The DMAC clock is 8 MHz. If any of the four

DMAC channels is programmed to operate in cycle steal with hold mode, the same sample

interval is used. The GCR is shared by all four channels in the DMAC.

Sample Interval = 2BT+BR+5 clock cycles
