Burst mode is a generic electronics term referring to any situation in which a device is transmitting data repeatedly without going through all the steps required to transmit each piece of data in a separate transaction.
Any bus transaction is typically handled by an arbiter, which decides when it should change the granted master and slaves.
In case of burst mode, it is usually more efficient if you allow a master to complete a known length transfer sequence.
Q:- A certain SoC master uses a burst mode to communicate (write or read) with its peripheral slave.
[2] The steps left out while performing a burst mode transaction may include: In the case of DMA, the DMA controller and the device are given exclusive access to the bus without interruption; the CPU is also freed from handling device interrupts.
