DMAxDAx

rw	rw	rw	rw	rw	rw	rw	rw
DMAxDAx	Bits	DMA destination address. The destination address register points to the
	15−0	destination address for single transfers or the first address for block transfers.
		The DMAxDA register remains unchanged during block and burst-block
		transfers.

DMAxSZx

rw	rw	rw	rw	rw	rw	rw	rw
DMAxSZx	Bits	DMA size. The DMA size register defines the number of byte/word data per
	15−0	block transfer. DMAxSZ register decrements with each word or byte transfer.
		When DMAxSZ decrements to 0, it is immediately and automatically reloaded
		with its previously initialized value.
		00000h	Transfer is disabled
