Abstract

An integrated circuit comprising: a plurality of on-chip devices; a DMA engine; and a CPU for executing code to set up the data transfer engine to perform a transfer, the set-up comprising indicating the address of a source and destination device. The integrated circuit also comprises timing means arranged to generate a trigger at a time after the execution of the set-up code; and transfer control means arranged to determine, at that time, an amount of data to be transferred. The DMA engine is arranged to receive the trigger from the timing means and an indication of the amount from the transfer control means, and to transfer that amount of data to the destination peripheral interface in response to the trigger.
