The DMA controller description and configuration of the STM32 microcontrollers

Patrik JACKO, Dobroslav KOVÁČ

One of the main problem which is resolving since first processors, computers or microcontrollers is speed of processing data, speed of transmitting data etc. – speed is a crucial element of processors technic.

The direct memory access or DMA controller is nowadays one of most used controllers in fast processor electronics. It is used in the computers, microcontrollers for high-speed data transmission and it serves to descramble the processor of the transfer operations. The DMA controller provides quick read and write data from or into the memory. This article describes DMA controller used in the STM32 microcontrollers and its configuration.

Keywords:  DMA controller, SPI interface, STM32 microcontroller
