Abstract
In a send engine of a protocol/DMA control circuit, a descriptor control circuit obtains a descriptor, and notifies the information of the descriptor to each circuit. A dummy/padding generation circuit generates a data pattern according to the instruction of the descriptor. A write control circuit performs data transfer using the generated data pattern as a dummy transfer data according to the instruction of the descriptor. The write control circuit also inserts the generated data pattern into the transfer data as a padding data according to the instruction of the descriptor, and performs data transfer.
