DIRECT MEMORY ACCESS (DMA)

 All input/output data transfer have to pass

through the CPU.
 For large data, intermediate stops in
microprocessor consume a lot of time.
 DMA is introduced to speed up data transfers
between memory and certain peripheral
devices

DMA (CONT.)

 DMA bypasses the CPU for certain types of data

transfers, thus eliminating the time consumed
by normal fetch and executes cycles required
for each read or write operation.
 For direct memory transfer, DMA controller
takes control of the system buses and allow
data to flow directly between memory and the
peripheral device.
