A data transfer control device and electronic equipment that make it possible to implement high-speed data transfer while observing restriction that prevent the traversing of page boundaries. A data transfer control device that conforms to the IEEE 1394 standard comprises a page table fetch circuit for fetching a page table from another node if a page table exists in a data buffer at the initiator, a page table creation circuit for creating a virtual page table if no page table exists, and an SBP-2 core for automatically dividing transfer data into a series of packets that do not traverse page boundaries based on the thus fetched or created page table and transmitting them. The page table creation circuit creates a page table in which a portion between a start address and a Kth page boundary is an X-type page table element, a portion between the Kth and Lth page boundaries is a Y-type page table element, and a portion between the Lth page boundary and an end address is a Z-type page table element.
