If transfer requests are issued simultaneously for more than one channel, or if a transfer request for another channel is
issued during a transfer, when the bus is released the DMAC selects the highest-priority channel from among those issuing
a request according to the priority order shown in table 7-13.
During burst transfer, or when one block is being transferred in block transfer, the channel will not be changed until the
end of the transfer.
Figure 7-35 shows a transfer example in which transfer requests are issued simultaneously for channels 0A, 0B, and 1.

7.5.14 Relation between External Bus Requests, Refresh Cycles, the DTC, and the DMAC
There can be no break between a DMA cycle read and a DMA cycle write. This means that a refresh cycle, external bus
release cycle, or DTC cycle is not generated between the external read and external write in a DMA cycle.
In the case of successive read and write cycles, such as in burst transfer or block transfer, a refresh or external bus released
state may be inserted after a write cycle. Since the DTC has a lower priority than the DMAC, the DTC does not operate
until the DMAC releases the bus.
When DMA cycle reads or writes are accesses to on-chip memory or internal I/O registers, these DMA cycles can be
executed at the same time as refresh cycles or external bus release. However, simultaneous operation may not be possible
when a write buffer is used.
