DREQ Pin Input Detection Timing
In the external request mode, the DREQ pin usually detects signals at the rising edge of the clock
pulse (CKIO). When a request is detected, a DMAC bus cycle is produced three cycles later at the
earliest and a DMA transfer performed. After the request is detected, the timing of the next input
detection varies with the bus mode, address mode, method of DREQ input detection, and the
memory connected.
DREQ Pin Input Detection Timing in Cycle Steal Mode:
In cycle steal mode, once a request is detected from the DREQ pin, request detection for the next
DMA transfer cannot be performed for a certain period of time. After request detection has again
become possible, the detectable cycles continue until a request is detected.
Figure 9.35 illustrates the timing from the detection of a request till the next time requests are
detectable.

Cycle Steal Mode Edge Detection
Requests can be detected 2 cycles after DACK output. After that point, the request is input to
DREQ. (When input prior to that point, requests are sometimes detected by internal state,
sometimes not.)
