Thanks to microcontrollers that aren’t trapped in the 1980s, new techniques can be used to drive these LED matrices. Most of the more powerful ARM microcontrollers come with DMA, a peripheral ...

Traditionally, higher-end, 32-bit microcontrollers featured co-processors and DMA controllers. Fewer 8- and 16-bit devices included these more complex adjuncts.

STMicroelectronics has put plenty of analogue features and DMA (direct memory access) into its latest 8bit 8pin microcontroller. Dubbed STM8L050, alongside two comparators, it has four-channel 12bit ...

Peripheral DMA Controller Relieves CPU of Peripheral-to-Memory Transfers -- Conventional ARM9-based processors use load/store instructions that require at least 80 CPU cycles to transfer a single ...
