2.7.3 Addressing Mode Register (AMR)
For each of the eight registers (A4–A7, B4–B7) that can perform linear or circu-
lar addressing, the addressing mode register (AMR) specifies the addressing
mode. A 2-bit field for each register selects the address modification mode:
linear (the default) or circular mode. With circular addressing, the field also
specifies which BK (block size) field to use for a circular buffer. In addition, the
buffer must be aligned on a byte boundary equal to the block size. The mode
select fields and block size fields are shown in Figure 2−3 and described in
Table 2−5.

Bit Field Value Description
31−26 Reserved 0 Reserved. The reserved bit location is always read as 0. A value written to
this field has no effect.

addressing. Table 2−6 shows block size calculations for all 32 possibilities.
