When the priority is set in fixed mode (CH0 > CH1), even though channel 1 is transferring in burst
mode, if there is a transfer request to channel 0 which has a higher priority, the transfer of channel
0 will begin immediately.
At this time, if channel 0 is also operating in burst mode, the channel 1 transfer will continue when
the channel 0 transfer with a higher priority has completely finished.
If channel 0 is operating in cycle steal mode, immediately after channel 0 with a higher priority
completes the transfer of one transfer unit, the channel 1 transfer will begin again without
releasing the bus mastership. Transfer will then switch between the two in the order of channel 0,
channel 1, channel 0, and channel 1. For the bus state, the CPU cycle after cycle steal mode
transfer finishes is replaced with a burst mode transfer cycle (hereafter referred to as burst mode
high-priority execution).
This example is illustrated in figure 10.12. If there are channels with conflicting burst transfers,
transfer for the channel with the highest priority is performed first.
In DMA transfer for more than one channel, the DMAC does not give the bus mastership to the
bus master until all conflicting burst transfers have finished.
In round-robin mode, the priority changes according to the specifications shown in figure 10.3.
Note that a channel operating in cycle steal mode cannot be handled together with a channel
operating in burst mode.
