For example, Processors — providing necessary control information, addressos...te, buses ~ to transfer information and data to and from memory to WO devices...ete. The interesting factor of the system would be the way it handles the transfer of information among processor, memory and /O devices. Usually, processors control all the process of transferring data, right from initiating the transfer to the storage of data at the destination. This adds load on the processor and mast of the time it stays in the ideal state, thus decreasing the efficiency of the system. To speed up the transfer of data between 1/0 devices and memory, DMA controller acts as station master. DMA controller transfers data with minimal intervention of the processor.

The term OMA stands for direct memory access. The hardware device used for direct memory access is called the DMA controller. DMA controller is a control unit, part of /0 device's interface circuit, which can transfer blocks of data between 1/0 devices and main memory with minimal intervention from the processor. DMA Controller Diagram in Computer Architecture DMA controller provides an interface between the bus and the input-output devices. Although it transfers data without intervention of processor, itis controlled by the processor, The processor initiates the DMA controller by sending the starting address, Number of words in the data block and direction of transfer of data ..0, from VO devices to the memory or from main memory to VO devices. More than one external device can be connected to the DMA controller.
