Microcontroller Tips
How does DMA enable efficient data transfer in microcontrollers?
Direct memory access (DMA) allows peripherals to transfer data directly to and from memory without requiring the CPU to handle each cycle. As the CPU’s role is minimized, DMA enables the CPU to perform other high-priority tasks and ensures faster data transfers in the background. How does the DMA controller work to reduce the load […]
