The Digital Blocks DB-DMAC-MC-AHB Verilog RTL IP Core is a Multi-Channel DMA Controller supporting 1 – 16 independent data transfers. The Direct Memory Access (DMA) Controller IP Core contains 1 - 16 DMA Controller Engines (i.e. DMA Channels), with a unified AHB5 Master Read/Write interconnects. The DB-DMAC-MC-AHB excels at high data throughput on both small and large data sets. Standard IP releases of number of DMA Controller Engines are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.
The DMA Controller IP Core can serve as a general-purpose Programmable DMA Controller supporting many system memories and peripherals, or be sized to the user required number of DMA Engines, AMBA interconnect interfaces, and user application interfaces.
