Micro Direct Memory Access (µDMA)
The MSP432E4 microcontrollers include a Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller, known as micro-DMA
(µDMA). The µDMA controller provides a way to offload data transfer tasks from the Cortex-M4F
processor, allowing for more efficient use of the processor and the available bus bandwidth. The µDMA
controller can perform transfers between memory and peripherals. It has dedicated channels for each
supported on-chip module and can be programmed to automatically perform transfers between peripherals
and memory when the peripheral is ready to transfer more data.
