Bus burst (source code)

= Bus burst

A group of related payload transfers, often to consecutive addresses, arranged under one transfer sequence. A <bus burst> can amortize setup and <bus arbitration> overhead; a longer period of exclusive <bus ownership> can also make another initiator wait longer. The exact overhead and permitted handover boundaries depend on the protocol.<AMBA Specification (Rev 2.0) by ARM Limited>[AMBA Specification, revision 2.0, section 1.4 and section 3.11.4: burst operation and early burst termination]{ref}
