9.3.6 Bus Modes
Select the appropriate bus mode in the TM bits of CHCR0 to CHCR3. There are two bus modes:
cycle-steal and burst.
Cycle-Steal Mode: In cycle-steal mode, the bus right is given to another bus master after each
one-transfer-unit (8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit) DMAC transfer. When the next transfer request occurs,
the bus right is obtained from the other bus master and a transfer is performed for one transfer
unit. When that transfer ends, the bus right is passed to the other bus master. This is repeated until
the transfer end conditions are satisfied.
Cycle-steal mode can be used with all categories of transfer destination, transfer source and
transfer request. Figure 9.8 shows an example of DMA transfer timing in cycle-steal mode.

Burst Mode: Once the bus right is obtained, transfer is performed continuously until the transfer
end condition is satisfied.
Figure 9.9 shows an example of DMA transfer timing in burst mode.
