(1) In direct address transfer mode, DMA transfer requires two bus cycles because data is read
from the transfer source in a data read cycle and written to the transfer destination in a
data write cycle. At this time, transfer data is temporarily stored in the DMAC. In the
transfer between external memories as shown in figure 11.5, data is read to the DMAC
from one external memory in a data read cycle, and then that data is written to the other
external memory in a write cycle. Figure 11.6 shows an example of the timing at this
time.

The SAR value is an address, data is read from the transfer source module,
and the data is temporarily stored in the DMAC.

The DAR value is an address, and the value stored in the data buffer in the
DMAC is written to the transfer destination module.
