5.5 Ultra DMA feature set
5.5.1 Overview
Ultra DMA is a data transfer protocol used with the READ DMA and WRITE DMA
commands. When this protocol is enabled it shall be used instead of the Multiword DMA
protocol when these commands are issued by the host. This protocol applies to the Ultra
DMA data burst only. When this protocol is used there are no changes to other elements of
the ATA protocol (e.g.: Command Block Register access).
Several signal lines are redefined to provide new functions during an Ultra DMA burst. These
lines assume these definitions when 1) an Ultra DMA Mode is selected, and 2) a host issues a
READ DMA or a WRITE DMA, command requiring data transfer, and 3) the host asserts
DMACK-. These signal lines revert back to the definitions used for non-Ultra DMA transfers
upon the negation of DMACK- by the host at the termination of an Ultra DMA burst. All of
the control signals are unidirectional. DMARQ and DMACK- retain their standard
definitions.
With the Ultra DMA protocol, the control signal (STROBE) that latches data from DD (15:0)
is generated by the same agent (either host or device) that drives the data onto the bus.
Ownership of DD (15:0) and this data strobe signal are given either to the device during an
Ultra DMA data in burst or to the host for an Ultra DMA data out burst.
During an Ultra DMA burst a sender shall always drive data onto the bus, and after a sufficient
time to allow for propagation delay, cable settling, and setup time, the sender shall generate a
STROBE edge to latch the data. Both edges of STROBE are used for data transfers so that the
frequency of STROBE is limited to the same frequency as the data. The highest fundamental
frequency on the cable shall be 16.67 million transitions per second or 8.33 MHz (the same as
the maximum frequency for PIO Mode 4 and DMA Mode 2).
Words in the IDENTIFY DEVICE data indicate support of the Ultra DMA feature and the
Ultra DMA Modes the device is capable of supporting. The Set transfer mode subcommand
in the SET FEATURES command shall be used by a host to select the Ultra DMA Mode at
which the system operates. The Ultra DMA Mode selected by a host shall be less than or
equal to the fastest mode of which the device is capable. Only the Ultra DMA Mode shall be
selected at any given time. All timing requirements for a selected Ultra DMA Mode shall be
satisfied. Devices supporting Ultra DMA Mode 2 shall also support Ultra DMA Modes 0 and
1. Devices supporting Ultra DMA Mode 1 shall also support Ultra DMA Mode 0.
An Ultra DMA capable device shall retain its previously selected Ultra DMA Mode after
executing a Software reset sequence. An Ultra DMA capable device shall clear any previously
selected Ultra DMA Mode and revert to its default non-Ultra DMA Modes after executing a
Power on or hardware reset.
Both the host and device perform a CRC function during an Ultra DMA burst. At the end of
an Ultra DMA burst the host sends the its CRC data to the device. The device compares its
CRC data to the data sent from the host. If the two values do not match the device reports an
error in the error register at the end of the command. If an error occurs during one or more
Ultra DMA bursts for any one command, at the end of the command, the device shall report
the first error that occurred.
