The DB-DMAC-MC-AXI 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 user selectable AMBA AXI4 / AXI3 Master Read/Write interconnects. The DB-DMAC-MC-AXI 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, 16. Please contact the vendor about our configurable DB-DMAC-MC-AXI with 1 to 256 DMA Channels.
