Functional Overview
Figure 3–17 shows the bus sequence for all memory writes and I/O writes. The accesses shown in
Figure 3–17 always require 3 CLKOUT cycles to complete.

Figure 3–17. Memory Write and I/O Write Bus Sequence
The enhanced interface also provides the ability for DMA transfers to extend to external memory. For more
information on DMA capability, see the DMA sections that follow.
The enhanced interface improves the low-power performance already present on the TMS320C5000 DSP
platform by switching off the internal clocks to the interface when it is not being used. This power-saving feature
is automatic, requires no software setup, and causes no latency in the operation of the interface.
Additional features integrated in the enhanced interface are the ability to automatically insert bank-switching
cycles when crossing 32K memory boundaries (see Section 3.6.2), the ability to program up to 14 wait states
through software (see Section 3.6.1), and the ability to divide down CLKOUT by a factor of 1, 2, 3, or 4. Dividing
down CLKOUT provides an alternative to wait states when interfacing to slower external memory or peripheral
devices. While inserting wait states extends the bus sequence during read or write accesses, it does not slow
down the bus signal sequences at the beginning and the end of the access. Dividing down CLKOUT provides
a method of slowing the entire bus sequence when necessary. The CLKOUT divide-down factor is controlled
through the DIVFCT field in the bank-switching control register (BSCR) (see Table 3–5).
3.12 DMA Controller
The 5407/5404 direct memory access (DMA) controller transfers data between points in the memory map
without intervention by the CPU. The DMA allows movements of data to and from internal program/data
memory, internal peripherals (such as the McBSPs), or external memory devices to occur in the background
of CPU operation. The DMA has six independent programmable channels, allowing six different contexts for
DMA operation.
