CHG
Change
Start Bit
X
Set CHG to enable modifying the STRT bit.
STRT
Start DMA
Channel
0 Set STRT to arm the DMA channel. The STRT bit can
be modified only when the CHG bit is set.
WORD
Word
Transfer
Select
X
Set WORD to select word transfers; clear WORD to
select byte transfers. The 8-bit bus versions of the
device ignore the WORD bit.
NOTE:
Reserved register bits are shown with gray shading. Reserved bits must be written to a
logic zero to ensure compatibility with future Intel products.

10.2.1.3 Selecting the Source of DMA Requests
DMA requests can come from either an internal source or an external source. The internal requests
are further divided into Timer 2 requests and serial port requests.
Internal DMA requests are selected by setting the IDRQ bit in the DMA Control Register (see
Figure 10-13 on page 10-20) for the channel. The DMA channel ignores its DRQ pin when internal
requests are programmed. Similarly, the DMA channel responds only to the DRQ pin (and
ignores internal requests) when external requests are selected.
