The Smart-DMA Controller is a configurable module designed to provide direct access to memories for peripherals without an active CPU thus enabling best power optimzation platform
Key Benefits
- Ultra-low power platform enabler
- Smart and Autonomous Peripherals enabler

Key Performances
- - 2 master ports on interconnect for TX and RX datapaths with separate control between TX and RX channels
- ? Round-robin arbitration across channels
- - sDMA Filter unit for 1/2D memory-to-memory transfers with linear algebra operations
- - Interfaces setting on the number of instances for each interface individually like:
- ? the optional AMBA interfaces: AHB-Lite targets ports
- ? the external sDMA channels (EXT_PER)
