16.3.4.2.2 Hardware Trigger, AIRQ

The AIRQEN bit is used to enable sampling of external interrupt triggers by which a DMA transaction can be aborted.

Once an abort interrupt request has been received, the DMA will perform a soft-stop by clearing the DGO bit, as well as clearing the SIRQEN bit so overruns do not occur. The AIRQEN bit is also cleared to prevent additional abort signals from triggering false aborts.

If desired, the DGO bit can be set again and the DMA will resume operation from where it left off after the soft stop had occurred, as none of the DMA state information is changed in the event of an abort.
