11.3.4 DMA Transfer Types
The DMAC supports the transfers shown in table 11.5. Dual address mode has a direct address
mode and indirect address mode. In direct address mode, an output address value is the data
transfer target address; in indirect address mode, the value stored in the output address, not the
output address value itself, is the data transfer target address. Data transfer timing depends on the
bus mode, which may be cycle-steal mode or burst mode.

Address Modes:
• Dual Address Mode
In dual address mode, both the transfer source and destination are accessed (selectable) by an
address. The source and destination can be located externally or internally. Dual address mode
has (1) a direct address transfer mode and (2) an indirect address transfer mode.
