• 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 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.
Burst mode cannot be used when a serial communication interface (IrDA, SCI), or A/D
converter is the transfer request source. Figure 11.13 shows an example of burst mode timing.
