4.3.1
After assertion of External DMA Request the DMA burst will start when the corresponding DMA channel
becomes the current highest priority channel. The External DMA Request should be kept asserted until it
is serviced by the DMAC. One External request will initiate at least one DMA burst.
The output External Grant signal from the DMAC is an active-low signal. This signal will be asserted
during the time when a DMA burst is ongoing for an External DMA Request, when the following
conditions are true:
Once the grant is asserted the External DMA Request will not be sampled until completion of the DMA
burst. The priority of the external request will become low, for the next consecutive burst, if another DMA
request signal is asserted.
The waveforms are shown for the worst case—that is, smallest burst (1 byte read/write). Minimum and
maximum timings for the External request and External grant signal are present in the data sheet.

The DMA channel for which the DMA burst is ongoing has requested source as external DMA
Request (as per RSSR settings).
REN and CEN bit of this channel are set.
External DMA Request is asserted.
