10.1.4
PCI Arbiter
•
Supports four external PCI bus masters
•
Uses the Programmable Fairness algorithm (two levels with different priorities for four round-
robin request/grant pairs)
•
Supports bus parking
•
Bus master uses the Most Recently Used algorithm
•
Unused slots and broken masters can be automatically disabled after Power On reset
•
On-chip arbitration function can be disabled and external arbiter can be used
10.1.5
PDMAC (PCI DMA Controller)
•
Direct Memory Access (DMA) Controller dedicated to 1-channel PCI
•
Is possible to transfer data using minimal G-Bus bandwidth
•
Data can be transferred bidirectionally between the G-Bus and the PCI Bus
•
Specifying a physical address on the PCI Bus and an address on the G-Bus makes it possible to
automatically transfer data between the PCI Bus and the G-Bus
•
Supports the Chain DMA mode, in which a Descriptor containing chain-shaped addresses and a
transfer size is automatically read from memory while DMA transfer continuous
•
On-chip 16-stage 32-bit data buffer
