Table 15. Channel Control Register – Non-8237 Mode

Register Address Map

The 8237 and non-8237 modes of the MCDMA Controller decode and use different numbers of 

ain

 bit input sig-

nals. The 

ain

 signal is used for mapping the register address and decoding software command.

Table 16. Register Address Map and Software Command of 8237 Mode

In the 8237 mode, the additional software commands are: Clear Byte Pointer, Master Clear and Clear Mask Regis-
ter.
