6.14 Times Related to DMA Transfer
The overhead before and after DMA transfer and minimum execution clock for DMA transfer are shown below. In
the case of external memory access, the time depends on the type of external memory connected.
Table 6-3. Number of Minimum Execution Clocks in DMA Cycle
DMA Cycle Number of Minimum Execution Clocks
From DMARQn signal acknowledgement to DMAAKn signal
rising
4 clocks
External memory access Depends on the memory connected.
Internal RAM access 1 clock
Remark n = 0 to 3
6.15 Maximum Response Time for DMA Transfer Request
The response time for a DMA transfer request becomes the longest under the following conditions (in the DRAM
refresh cycle enabled state). However, the case when a higher priority DMA transfer is generated is excluded.
(1) Condition 1
Condition Instruction fetch from an external memory in 8-bit data bus width
Response time Tinst × 4 + Tref
DMAAKn (output)
D0 to D15 (I/O)
DMARQn (input)
DMA cycleRefresh
Fetch (1/4) Fetch (2/4) Fetch (3/4) Fetch (4/4)
(2) Condition 2
Condition Word data access with an external memory in 8-bit data bus width
Response time Tdata × 4 + Tref
DMAAKn (output)
D0 to D15 (I/O)
DMARQn (input)
