Programmable DMA Controller 40-Pin CDIP

The 5962-9054302 is an enhanced version of the industry standard 5962-9054302 Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller, fabricated using Intersil’s advanced 2 micron CMOS process. Pin compatible with NMOS designs, the 5962-9054302offers increased functionality, improved performance, and dramatically reduced power consumption. The fully static design permits gated clock operation for even further reduction of power. The 5962-9054302 controller can improve system performance by allowing external devices to transfer data directly to or from system memory. Memory-to-memory transfer capability is also provided, along with a memory block initialization feature. DMA requests may be generated by either hardware or software, and each channel is independently programmable with a variety of features for flexible operation. The 5962-9054302 is designed to be used with an external address latch, such as the 82C82, to demultiplex the most significant 8-bits of address. The 5962-9054302 can be used with industry standard microprocessors such as 80C286, 80286, 80C86, 80C88, 8086, 8088, 8085, Z80, NSC800, 80186 and others. Multimode programmability allows the user to select from three basic types of DMA services, and reconfiguration under program control is possible even with the clock to the controller stopped. Each channel has a full 64K address and word count range, and may be programmed to autoinitialize these registers following DMA termination (end of process).
