DMA TRANSFERS
DMA transfers are enabled with the Specify command and are initiated by the FDC by activating a DMA request
cycle. DMA read, write and verify cycles are supported. The FDC supports two DMA transfer modes: Single
Transfer and Burst Transfer. Burst mode is enabled via Logical Device 0-CRF0-Bit[1] (LD0-CRF0[1]).
CONTROLLER PHASES
For simplicity, command handling in the FDC can be divided into three phases: Command, Execution, and Result.
Each phase is described in the following sections.
Command Phase
After a reset, the FDC enters the command phase and is ready to accept a command from the host. For each of the
commands, a defined set of command code bytes and parameter bytes has to be written to the FDC before the
command phase is complete. (Please refer to Table 16 for the command set descriptions). These bytes of data must
be transferred in the order prescribed.
Before writing to the FDC, the host must examine the RQM and DIO bits of the Main Status Register. RQM and DIO
must be equal to “1” and “0” respectively before command bytes may be written. RQM is set false by the FDC after
each write cycle until the received byte is processed. The FDC asserts RQM again to request each parameter byte
of the command unless an illegal command condition is detected. After the last parameter byte is received, RQM
remains “0” and the FDC automatically enters the next phase as defined by the command definition.
The FIFO is disabled during the command phase to provide for the proper handling of the “Invalid Command”
condition.
Execution Phase
All data transfers to or from the FDC occur during the execution phase, which can proceed in DMA mode as indicated
in the Specify command.
After a reset, the FIFO is disabled. Each data byte is transferred by a read/write or DMA cycle depending on the
DMA mode. The Configure command can enable the FIFO and set the FIFO threshold value.
The following paragraphs detail the operation of the FIFO flow control. In these descriptions, <threshold> is defined
as the number of bytes available to the FDC when service is requested from the host and ranges from 1 to 16. The
parameter FIFOTHR, which the user programs, is one less and ranges from 0 to 15.
A low threshold value (i.e. 2) results in longer periods of time between service requests, but requires faster servicing
of the request for both read and write cases. The host reads (writes) from (to) the FIFO until empty (full), then the
transfer request goes inactive. The host must be very responsive to the service request. This is the desired case for
use with a “fast” system.
A high value of threshold (i.e. 12) is used with a “sluggish” system by affording a long latency period after a service
request, but results in more frequent service requests.
Non-DMA Mode – Transfers from the FIFO to the Host
This part does not support non-DMA mode.
Non-DMA Mode – Transfers from the Host to the FIFO
This part does not support non-DMA mode.
DMA Mode – Transfers from the FIFO to the Host
The FDC generates a DMA request cycle when the FIFO contains (16 - <threshold>) bytes, or the last byte of a full
sector transfer has been placed in the FIFO. The DMA controller must respond to the request by reading data from
the FIFO. The FDC will deactivate the DMA request when the FIFO becomes empty by generating the proper sync
for the data transfer.
DMA Mode – Transfers from the Host to the FIFO.
The FDC generates a DMA request cycle when entering the execution phase of the data transfer commands. The
DMA controller must respond by placing data in the FIFO. The DMA request remains active until the FIFO becomes
full. The DMA request cycle is reasserted when the FIFO has <threshold> bytes remaining in the FIFO. The FDC will
terminate the DMA cycle after a TC, indicating that no more data is required.
