Table 5-3: D11A and Audio Channel Enable Bits
DMACON Register
Bit
Name
Function
15
SETCLR
When this bit is written as a
1, it
sets any bit in D11ACONW for which
the corresponding bit position is
also a
1, leaving all other bits alone.
9
D11AEN
Only while this bit is a
1 can
any direct memory access occur.
3
. AUD3EN
Audio channel 3 enable .
2
AUD2EN
Audio channel 2 enable.
1
AUDIEN
Audio channel
1 enable.
0
AUDOEN
Audio channel 0 enable.
For example,
if you are using channel 0, then you write a 1 into bit 9 to enable D11A
and a 1 into bit 0 to enable the audio channel, as shown below.

STOPPING THE AUDIO DMA
You can stop the channel by writing a 0 into the AUDxEN bit at any time. However,
you cannot resume the
output at the same point in the waveform by just writing a 1 in
the bit again. Enabling an audio channel almost always starts the data output again
from the top of the list of
data pointed to by the location registers for that channel. If
the channel
is disabled for a very short time (less than two sampling periods) it may stay
on and thus continue from where it left
off.
