10.3.12 FIFO
FIFO structure
The FIFO is used to temporarily store data coming from the source before transmitting them
to the destination.
Each stream has an independent 4-word FIFO and the threshold level is software-
configurable between 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or full.
To enable the use of the FIFO threshold level, the direct mode must be disabled by setting
the DMDIS bit in the DMA_SxFCR register.
The structure of the FIFO differs depending on the source and destination data widths, and
is described in Figure 39: FIFO structure.
Figure 39. FIFO structure
FIFO threshold and burst configuration
Caution is required when choosing the FIFO threshold (bits FTH[1:0] of the DMA_SxFCR
register) and the size of the memory burst (MBURST[1:0] of the DMA_SxCR register): The
content pointed by the FIFO threshold must exactly match to an integer number of memory
burst transfers. If this is not in the case, a FIFO error (flag FEIFx of the DMA_HISR or
DMA_LISR register) will be generated when the stream is enabled, then the stream will be
automatically disabled. The allowed and forbidden configurations are described in the
