(5) DMA channel control registers 0 to 3 (DCHC0 to DCHC3)
The DCHC0 to DCHC3 registers are 8-bit registers that control the DMA transfer operating mode for DMA
channel n.
These registers can be read or written in 8-bit or 1-bit units. (However, bit 7 is read-only and bits 1 and 2 are
write-only. If bit 1 or 2 is read, the read value is always 0.)
Reset input clears these registers to 00H.
DCHCn
(n = 0 to 3)
DMA transfer had not completed.
DMA transfer had completed.
It is set to 1 on the last DMA transfer and cleared to 0 when it is read.
TCnNote 1
0
1
Status flag indicates whether DMA transfer
through DMA channel n has completed or not
DMA transfer disabled
DMA transfer enabled
DMA transfer is enabled when the Enn bit is set to 1.
When DMA transfer is completed (when a terminal count is generated), this bit is
automatically cleared to 0.
To abort DMA transfer, clear the Enn bit to 0 by software. To resume, set the Enn
bit to 1 again.
When aborting or resuming DMA transfer, however, be sure to observe the
procedure described in 20.13 Cautions.
Enn
0
1
Setting of whether DMA transfer through
DMA channel n is to be enabled or disabled
This is a software startup trigger of DMA transfer.
If this bit is set to 1 in the DMA transfer enable state (TCn bit = 0, Enn
bit = 1), DMA transfer is started.

INITnNote 2 If the INITn bit is set to 1 with DMA transfer disabled (Enn bit = 0), the
DMA transfer status can be initialized.
When re-setting the DMA transfer status (re-setting the DDAnH, DDAnL,
DSAnH, DSAnL, DBCn, and DADCn registers) before DMA transfer is
completed (before the TCn bit is set to 1), be sure to initialize the DMA
channel.
When initializing the DMA controller, however, be sure to observe the
procedure described in 20.13 Cautions.
Notes 1. The TCn bit is read-only.
2. The INITn and STGn bits are write-only.
Cautions 1. Be sure to clear bits 6 to 3 of the DCHCn register to 0.
2. When DMA transfer is completed (when a terminal count is generated), the Enn bit is
cleared to 0 and then the TCn bit is set to 1. If the DCHCn register is read while its bits are
being updated, a value indicating “transfer not completed and transfer is disabled” (TCn bit
= 0 and Enn bit = 0) may be read.
