Direct Memory Access (DMA)

5-6

ARM DDI 0186A

The DMA controller makes a read request by taking

DMAnREQ

LOW and asserting

DMAWait

DMAReady

is asserted by the ARM966E-S when the core has been stalled

on the next instruction boundary and informs the DMA controller that it can proceed
with its transfer.

Figure 5-3 on page 5-5 also shows the minimum latency between

DMAWait

being

registered HIGH and

DMAReady

being asserted is two clock cycles, when

DMAWait

is registered on an instruction boundary. The maximum latency occurs when

DMAWait

is asserted on the first cycle of an

LDM

or unbuffered

STM

AHB access. The latency in this

case can be calculated from the information in

Introduction to instruction cycle timings

on page 11-2.

The DMA controller can increment the read address on the next rising clock edge after

DMAReady

is asserted. Read data is driven on

DMARData

in the third cycle after the

read address is sampled by the ARM966E-S (one cycle to register the address, one cycle
for the RAM read and one cycle for registering the RAM read data). The first read
address,

DMAAddr

, is registered by the ARM966E-S on the next rising clock edge

after

DMAReady

is asserted.

The DMA controller has

ownership

of the RAM from

DMAReady

being asserted until

it takes

DMAWait

LOW. When

DMAWait

has been taken LOW, the DMA controller

loses ownership of the RAM.

DMAWait

must

be taken LOW at the end of a DMA

access to allow CPU flow to continue.

DMAENABLE

must be asserted one cycle prior to a request being made and can be

deasserted one cycle prior to the last read data being returned.

Note

DMAWait

is not asserted, the ARM966E-S does not respond to single-port RAM

DMA requests.

5.2.2

Single-port RAM writes

Figure 5-4 on page 5-7 shows DMA write operation to a single-port RAM.

The DMA controller requests write access to the RAM in the same way as single-port
RAM reads except that

DMAnRW

is HIGH. Because data writes are single cycle

operations, data to be written must be present in the same cycle as the address. The first
write address,

DMAAddr

, is registered by the ARM966E-S on the next rising clock

edge after

DMAReady

is asserted. The write to the RAM happens in the following

cycle, due to the single cycle latency of the input registers. The first write address,

DMAAddr

, and data,

DMAWData

, is registered by the ARM966E-S on the next rising

clock edge after

DMAReady

is asserted.
