A DMA circuit prevents an erroneous data transfer by a descriptor due to an address failure of memory. When a descriptor is created, the data processing unit writes a pointer, for storing the descriptor, in a predetermined part of the descriptor, and stores the descriptor in memory, and when a DMA engine reads the descriptor from the memory, the DMA engine confirms whether the value is correct, and judges whether a DMA transfer of the data in the memory is possible. For both reading and writing of a descriptor, data corruption due to an address failure can be prevented.
