Demand/Handshake Mode Comparison
Demand and Handshake modes are related to the protocol between XnXDREQ and XnXDACK. Figure 8-2 shows
the differences between the two modes.
At the end of one transfer (Single/Burst transfer), DMA checks the state of double-synched XnXDREQ.
Demand mode
- If XnXDREQ remains asserted, the next transfer starts immediately. Otherwise it waits for XnXDREQ to
be asserted.
Handshake mode
- If XnXDREQ is de-asserted, DMA de-asserts XnXDACK in 2cycles. Otherwise it waits until XnXDREQ is
de-asserted.
Caution: XnXDREQ has to be asserted (low) only after the de-assertion (high) of XnXDACK.
