The Direct Memory Access Controller (DMAC) can speed
up data transfer between memory and I/O devices or be-
tween two memories, relative to data transfers performed
directly by the CPU. A method called cycle-stealing allows
the CPU and the DMAC to use the core bus in parallel.
The DMAC implements four independent DMA channels.
DMA requests from a primary and a secondary source
are recognized for each DMA channel, as well as a soft-
ware DMA request issued directly by the CPU. Table 1
shows the DMA channel assignment on the CP3UB17 ar-
chitecture. The following on-chip modules can assert a
DMA request to the DMAC:
Table 1 shows how the four DMA channels are assigned
to the modules listed above.

The audio interface provides a serial synchronous, full-du-
plex interface to CODECs and similar serial devices. Trans-
mit and receive paths operate asynchronously with respect
to each other. Each path uses three signals for communica-
tion: shift clock, frame synchronization, and data.
In case receive and transmit use separate shift clocks and
frame sync signals, the interface operates in its asynchro-
nous mode. Alternatively, the transmit and receive path can
share the same shift clock and frame sync signals for syn-
chronous mode operation.
The interface can handle data words of either 8- or 16-bit
length and data frames can consist of up to four slots.
In the normal mode of operation, the interface only transfers
one word at a periodic rate. In the network mode, the inter-
face transfers multiple words at a periodic rate. The periodic
rate is also called a data frame and each word within one
frame is called a slot. The beginning of each new data frame
is marked by the frame sync signal.

The CVSD/PCM module performs conversion between
CVSD data and PCM data, in which the PCM data can be
8-bit µ-Law, 8-bit A-Law, or 13-bit to 16-bit Linear.

The Serial Debug Interface module (SDI module)provides a
JTAG-based serial link to an external debugger, for example
running on a PC. In addition, the SDI module integrates an
on-chip debug module, which allows the user to set up to
four hardware breakpoints on instruction execution and data
transfer. The SDI module can act as a CPU bus master to
access all memory mapped resources, such as RAM and
peripherals. Therefore it also allows for fast program code
download into the on-chip Flash program memory using the
JTAG interface.

The CP3UB17 is backed up by the software resources de-
signers need for rapid time-to-market, including an operat-
ing system, peripheral drivers, reference designs, and an
integrated development environment.
National Semiconductor offers a complete and industry-
proven application development environment for CP3UB17
applications, including the IAR Embedded Workbench,
iSYSTEM winIDEA and iC3000 Active Emulator, Develop-
ment Board, and Application Software. See your National
Semiconductor sales representative for current information
on availability and features of emulation equipment and
evaluation boards.
