8.4.9 DMAC Multiple-Channel Operation
The DMAC channel priority order is: channel 0 > channel 1 and channel A > channel B.
Table 8-12 shows the complete priority order.

If transfers are requested on two or more channels simultaneously, or if a transfer on one channel
is requested during a transfer on another channel, the DMAC operates as follows.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Figure 8-19 shows the timing when channel 0A is set up for I/O mode and channel 1 for burst
mode, and a transfer request for channel 0A is received while channel 1 is active.
When a transfer is requested, the DMAC requests the bus right. When it gets the bus right, it
starts a transfer on the highest-priority channel at that time.
Once a transfer starts on one channel, requests to other channels are held pending until that
channel releases the bus.
After each transfer in short address mode, and each externally-requested or cycle-steal
transfer in normal mode, the DMAC releases the bus and returns to step 1. After releasing the
bus, if there is a transfer request for another channel, the DMAC requests the bus again.
After completion of a burst-mode transfer, or after transfer of one block in block transfer
mode, the DMAC releases the bus and returns to step 1. If there is a transfer request for a
higher-priority channel or a bus request from a higher-priority bus master, however, the
DMAC releases the bus after completing the transfer of the current byte or word. After
releasing the bus, if there is a transfer request for another channel, the DMAC requests the bus
again.
