2. Burst Mode
Once the bus mastership is obtained, the transfer is performed continuously until the transfer
end condition is satisfied. In the external request mode with low level detection of the DREQ
pin, however, when the DREQ pin is driven high, the bus passes to the other bus master after
the DMAC transfer request that has already been accepted ends, even if the transfer end
conditions have not been satisfied.
The burst mode cannot be used for other than CMT0, CMT1, and MTU0 to MTU4 when the
on-chip peripheral module is the transfer request source. Figure 13.11 shows DMA transfer
timing in the burst mode.
