10.1.3
Target Function
•
Single and Burst transfer from the PCI Bus to the Internal Bus
•
Supports memory, I/O, and configuration cycles
•
Supports high-speed back-to-back transactions on the PCI Bus
•
Address mapping between the PCI Bus and the Internal bus can be modified
•
Mounted 8-stage 64-bit data FIFO for Read
•
Mounted 12-stage 64-bit data FIFO for Write
•
Post Write function enables quick termination of a maximum of nine Write transactions by the PCI
Bus without waiting for completion on the G-Bus.
•
Read Burst length (pre-fetch data size) on the Internal Bus when reading a pre-fetchable space can
be made programmable
•
Endian switching function
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 4-stage 64-bit data buffer
