///! configuring a DMA stream for a number of successive DAC codes, hardware can regularly update

///! In order to ensure alignment between the ADC sample batches and DAC output code batches, a DAC
///! output batch is always exactly 1 batch after the ADC batch that generated it.
///!
///! The DMA transfer for the DAC output codes utilizes a double-buffer mode to avoid losing any
///! transfer events generated by the timer (for example, when 2 update cycles occur before the DMA
///! transfer completion is handled). In this mode, there should always be a valid buffer in the
///! "next-transfer" double-buffer location for the DMA transfer. Once a transfer completes,
///! software then has exactly one batch duration to properly configure the next buffer before it
///! begins transfer.
