13. DMAC
13.5 Channel Priority and DMA Transfer Timing
If both DMA0 and DMA1 are enabled and DMA transfer request signals from DMA0 and DMA1 are detected
active in the same sampling period (one period from a falling edge to the next falling edge of BCLK), the DMAS
bit on each channel is set to “1” (DMA requested) at the same time. In this case, the DMA requests are arbitrated
according to the channel priority, DMA0 > DMA1. The following describes DMAC operation when DMA0 and
DMA1 requests are detected active in the same sampling period. Figure 13.7 shows an example of DMA Transfer
by External Factors.
DMA0 request having priority is received first to start a transfer when a DMA0 request and DMA1 request are
generated simultaneously. After one DMA0 transfer is completed, a bus arbitration is returned to the CPU. When
the CPU has completed one bus access, a DMA1 transfer starts. After one DMA1 transfer is completed, the bus
arbitration is again returned to the CPU.
In addition, DMA requests cannot be counted up since each channel has one DMAS bit. Therefore, when DMA
requests, as DMA1 in Figure 13.7, occurs more than one time, the DMAS bit is set to “0” as soon as getting the bus
arbitration. The bus arbitration is returned to the CPU when one transfer is completed.
Refer to 7.2.7 HOLD Signal for details about bus arbitration between the CPU and DMA.
