Chapter 14    Automatic Transfer Controller

Operation

XIV - 18

In transfer mode 4, ATC1 automatically transfers two bytes (one word) of data from any memory space to

the I/O space (special registers : x'03F00' - x'03FFF') every time an ATC1 activation request occurs.

AT1MAP1 (even)

Always set an even address as the destination I/O address in memory pointer 1. When ATC1

transfers one word to the I/O space, ATC1 can transfer the even address set in memory

pointer 1 and the odd address that immediately follows it.

In transfer mode 4, ATC1 executes a data byte transfer twice, to send one data word, each time it is

activated. The value in memory pointer 0 increments by one each time a byte-length data transfer ends.

As a result, the source address for the next ATC1 operation is two addresses higher than that for the

previous operation.

In this word-length transfer, ATC1 transfers the first data byte to an even address in the I/O space and

the second data byte to an odd address in the I/O space.

Set the data transfer data count for ATC1 in the transfer data counter (AT1TRC). The counter can be set

to a maximum of 255 transfers. The counter decrements each time ATC1 is activated (after each 

transfer). When it reaches x'00', an interrupt (ATC1IRQ) occurs and the automatic transfer ends.

Set the source address in 18-bit memory pointer 0 (AT1MAP0H, M, L), and set the destination I/O

address in the lower 8 bits of memory pointer 1(AT1MAP1L). The upper 10 bits of the I/O space address

(x'03F') need not to be set in AT1MAP1H and AT1MAP1M.
