• Burst Mode
Once the bus is obtained, the transfer is performed continuously until the transfer end condition
is satisfied. In external request mode with low-level detection at the DREQ pin, however, when
the DREQ pin is driven high, the bus passes to the other bus master after the bus cycle of the
DMAC that currently has an acknowledged request ends, even if the transfer end conditions
have not been satisfied.
Burst mode cannot be used when the serial communication interface (SCI) is the transfer
request source. Figure 9.11 shows an example of DMA transfer timing in burst mode. The
transfer conditions shown in the figure are:
Single address mode
DREQ level detection
DREQ
Bus cycle
