Accelerate SoC Design
The Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller enables the movement of blocks of data from peripheral to memory, memory to peripheral, or memory to memory without burdening the processor.
The DMA-330 is a high-performance DMA controller that can boost the performance and reduce the power consumption in AXI systems. Highly configurable to support a wide range of applications and architectures, the DMA-330 is programmable to support scatter-gather, memory to memory, peripheral to memory, and memory to peripheral transfers, run-from-reset, security on channels, interrupts, and peripherals.
Features and Benefits
Efficient use of DMA can significantly improve system performance in multiple dimensions. For example, using a DMA controller can offload a processor and either reduce power consumption, or boost the processor performance, or a combination of both.
AMBA DMA controllers provide a centralized DMA processing capability that is high performance and highly flexible, and at the same time, is area efficient.
The DMA controller is a low-power, high-performance IP core that performs critical tasks within the AMBA system and is designed for optimal compatibility with Arm Cortex, Mali multimedia, and CoreLink System IP, and as a natural complement to interconnect and memory controllers.
