5.7 DMA

The direct memory access (DMA) controller allows movement of data from one memory address to another without CPU intervention. For example, the DMA can be used to move data from ADC conversion memory to SRAM. The DMA reduces system power consumption by allowing the CPU to remain in low-power mode, without having to wake to move data to or from a peripheral.

The DMA in these devices support the following key features:

  • Seven independent DMA transfer channels
    • Four basic channel supports (single transfer modes)
    • Three full-feature channel supports (repeated transfer modes)
  • Configurable DMA channel priorities
  • Byte (8-bit), short word (16-bit), word (32-bit), and long word (64-bit) or mixed byte and word transfer capability
  • Transfer counter block size supports up to 64k transfers of any data type
  • Configurable DMA transfer trigger selection
  • Active channel interruption to service other channels
  • Early interrupt generation for ping-pong buffer architecture
  • Cascading channels upon completion of activity on another channel
  • Stride mode to support data reorganization, such as 3-phase metering applications

The following tests must be applied for the targeted ASIL as functional safety mechanisms for this module (to provide diagnostic coverage on a specific function):

Table 5-7 DMA Safety Mechanisms
Safety MechanismDescriptionFaults | Failure Modes
DMA1Periodic software read back of static configuration registersTargeted toward configuration registers of DMA.
DMA2Software DMA transfer testTargeted toward DMA bus interface logic and the DMA channel which sequences the read and write access based on the channel configuration.
DMA3Software DMA channel testTargeted toward the channels used in the application context.
DMA4CRC check of the transferred dataTargeted toward DMA bus interface which results in data corruption.
SYSCTL11Boot process timeoutDMA is used to transfer trims during the boot process. This test targets the DMA logic which is used for this.
WDTWindowed watchdog eventTarget faults which result in either DMA transfer not starting (triggers not getting generated, for example) or transfers not completing (DMA channel faults and bus hangs) resulting in the CPU program sequence also malfunctioning.
IWDTIndependent watchdog timer.Target faults which result in either DMA transfer not starting (triggers not getting generated, for example) or transfers not completing (DMA channel faults and bus hangs); resulting in the CPU program sequence also malfunctioning.
