(2) Bus Modes
There are two bus modes; cycle steal and burst. Select the mode by the TB bits in the channel
control registers (CHCR).
(a) Cycle Steal Mode
Normal mode
In normal mode of cycle steal, the bus mastership is given to another bus master after a one-
transfer-unit (byte, word, longword, or 16-byte unit) DMA transfer. When another transfer
request occurs, the bus mastership is obtained from another bus master and a transfer is
performed for one transfer unit. When that transfer ends, the bus mastership is passed to
another bus master. This is repeated until the transfer end conditions are satisfied.
The cycle-steal normal mode can be used for any transfer section; transfer request source,
transfer source, and transfer destination.
