Procedures For Using Dtc - Renesas H8S Family Hardware Manual

The number of execution states is calculated from using the formula below. Note that Σ is the sum

of all transfers activated by one activation source (the number in which the CHNE bit is set to 1,

Number of execution states = I · S

For example, when the DTC vector address table is located in on-chip ROM, normal mode is set,

and data is transferred from on-chip ROM to an internal I/O register, then the time required for the

DTC operation is 13 states. The time from activation to the end of data write is 10 states.

Procedures for Using DTC

Activation by Interrupt

The procedure for using the DTC with interrupt activation is as follows:

1. Set the MRA, MRB, SAR, DAR, CRA, and CRB register information in on-chip RAM.

2. Set the start address of the register information in the DTC vector address.

3. Set the corresponding bit in DTCER to 1.

4. Set the enable bits for the interrupt sources to be used as the activation sources to 1. The DTC

is activated when an interrupt used as an activation source is generated.

5. After one data transfer has been completed, or after the specified number of data transfers have

been completed, the DTCE bit is cleared to 0 and a CPU interrupt is requested. If the DTC is to

continue transferring data, set the DTCE bit to 1.

Activation by Software

The procedure for using the DTC with software activation is as follows:

1. Set the MRA, MRB, SAR, DAR, CRA, and CRB register information in on-chip RAM.

2. Set the start address of the register information in the DTC vector address.

3. Check that the SWDTE bit is 0.

4. Write 1 to the SWDTE bit and the vector number to DTVECR.

5. Check the vector number written to DTVECR.

6. After one data transfer has been completed, if the DISEL bit is 0 and a CPU interrupt is not

requested, the SWDTE bit is cleared to 0. If the DTC is to continue transferring data, set the

SWDTE bit to 1. When the DISEL bit is 1 or after the specified number of data transfers have

been completed, the SWDTE bit is held at 1 and a CPU interrupt is requested.
