6.7.3 Multiword DMA data transfer

Figure 6-3 defines the timings associated with Multiword DMA transfers.

For Multiword DMA modes 1 and above, the minimum value of t0 is specified by word 65 in the IDENTIFY

DEVICE parameter list. Table 6-18 defines the minimum value that shall be placed in word 65.

Devices shall power up with mode 0 as the default Multiword DMA mode.

NOTE −
1 To prevent the transmission of another word of data, the Device shall negate DMARQ within the tL
specified time once DMACK- is asserted and reass ert it again at a later time to resume the DMA
operation. Alternatively, if the device is able to continue the transfer of data, the device may leave
DMARQ asserted and wait for the host to reassert DMACK-.
2 This signal may be negated by the Host to suspend the DMA trans f er in process.
3 This figure shows the transfer of two words. The actual trans fer f or a given ass ert ion of DMARQ m a
y
be any number of words from one to the remaining num ber of words to be transferred.
