Streaming Data Mode

For blocks of sequential data transferred over the Micro Channel, it should not be necessary to specify the address information more than once. Both the source and destination devices should update the address for each cycle by the size of the transferred data. This technique is supported by the Micro Channel and is known as streaming data mode (or streaming data procedure). Using streaming data mode with 32-bit transfer, the effective transfer rate is 40MB per second. The usage of the address and data buses during a data transfer using streaming data procedure is shown in Figure "Streaming Data Mode".
