(2)  Burst Mode 
In burst mode, once the EXDMAC acquires the bus it continues transferring data, without 
releasing the bus, until the transfer end condition is satisfied. There is no burst mode in external 
request mode. 
In burst mode, once transfer is started it is not interrupted even if there is a transfer request from 
another channel with higher priority. When the burst mode channel finishes its transfer, it releases 
the bus in the next cycle in the same way as in cycle steal mode. 
When the EDA bit is cleared to 0 in EDMDR, DMA transfer is halted. However, DMA transfer is 
executed for all transfer requests generated within the EXDMAC up until the EDA bit was cleared 
to 0. 
If a repeat area overflow interrupt is generated, the EDA bit is cleared to 0 and transfer is 
terminated. 
When the BGUP bit is set to 1 in EDMDR, the bus is released if a bus request is issued by another 
bus master during burst transfer. If there is no bus request, burst transfer is executed even if the 
BGUP bit is set to 1. 
Figure 8.6 shows examples of the timing in burst mode.
