 Hi

   

reading datasheets sometomes i find the word burst but i cannot figure out the difference between burst and packet. I've found a definition for burst reading the API guide:

   

 

   

The burst size is the minimum

   

number of words of data that will be sourced/sinked across the GPIF interface without further

   

updates of the GPIF DMA flags. The device connected to FX3 is expected to complete a burst

   

that it has started regardless of any flag changes in between. Please note that this has to be

   

set to a non-zero value (burst size is greater than one), when the GPIF is being configured

   

with a 32-bit data bus and functioning at 100 MHz.

   

 

   

but what about a packet ?

   

 

   

Can anyboby help me ?

   

 

   

Regards
