DS31256 256-Channel, High-Throughput HDLC Controller

125 of 183

9.3.5 DMA Configuration RAM

The device contains an on-board set of 1536 dwords (6 dwords per channel times 256 channels) that are

used by the host to configure the DMA and used by the DMA to store values locally when it is

processing a packet. Most of the fields within the DMA configuration RAM are for DMA use and the

host never writes to these fields. The host is only allowed to write (configure) to the lower word of

dword 1 for each HDLC channel. In Figure 9-21, the host-configurable fields are denoted with a thick

box.
