DIRECT MEMORY ACCESS
CONTROLLER (DMA)
CONTROLLER (DMA)
The Direct Memory Access Controller (DMA) is
designed to service high-data-throughput peripherals
operating on the SFR bus, allowing them to access
data memory directly and alleviating the need for CPU
intensive management. By allowing these data inten-
sive peripherals to share their own data path, the main
data bus is also de-loaded, resulting in additional
power savings.
The DMA Controller functions both as a peripheral and
a direct extension of the CPU. It is located on the micro-
controller data bus between the CPU and
DMA-enabled peripherals, with direct access to SRAM.
This partitions the SFR bus into two buses, allowing the
DMA Controller access to the DMA-capable peripher-
als located on the new DMA SFR bus. The controller
serves as a master device on the DMA SFR bus,
controlling data flow from DMA capable peripherals.

The controller also monitors CPU instruction process-
ing directly, allowing it to be aware of when the CPU
requires access to peripherals on the DMA bus, and
automatically relinquishing control to the CPU as
needed. This increases the effective bandwidth for
handling data without DMA operations causing a
processor stall. This makes the controller essentially
transparent to the user.
The DMA Controller has these features:
• Six multiple independent and independently
