DREQ Pin Low Level Activation Timing (Normal Mode): Set the DTA bit in DMABCRH to 1
for the channel for which the DREQ pin is selected.
Figure 7.24 shows an example of normal mode transfer activated by the DREQ pin low level.

[1] Acceptance after transfer enabling; the DREQ pin low level is sampled on the rising edge of φ,
and the request is held.
[2] [5] The request is cleared at the next bus break, and activation is started in
the DMAC.
[3] [6] The DMA cycle is started.
[4] [7] Acceptance is resumed after the write cycle is completed.
(As in [1], the DREQ pin low level is sampled on the rising edge of φ, and the request i
s held.)
Note: In write data buffer mode, bus breaks from [2] to [7] may be hidden, and not visible.
Figure 7.24 Example of DREQ Pin Low Level Activated Normal Mode Transfer
DREQ pin sampling is performed every cycle, with the rising edge of the next φ cycle after the
end of the DMABCR write cycle for setting the transfer enabled state as the starting point.
When the DREQ pin low level is sampled while acceptance by means of the DREQ pin is
possible, the request is held in the DMAC. Then, when activation is initiated in the DMAC, the
request is cleared. After the end of the write cycle, acceptance resumes, DREQ pin low level
sampling is performed again, and this operation is repeated until the transfer ends.
Figure 7.25 shows an example of block transfer mode transfer activated by DREQ pin low level.
