20100306421DMA TRANSFER DEVICE - A source address setting detector acquires a DMA source address from a transfer start address setting for a DMA source area of a plurality of register settings for a DMAC which are made by a master. A read-ahead processor reads ahead data in a resource which is specified by the DMA source address before the DMAC starts DMA transfer, and further, increments the DMA source address to repeat read-ahead operation. The DMAC starts DMA transfer if the master completes the register settings, reads data in the DMA source area which has already been read ahead in the read-ahead processor, and transfers the data to a DMA destination area in the resource.12-02-2010
