All Rights Reserved.Brey: The Intel Microprocessors, 7e DMA Direct Memory Access (DMA) is a method whereby the memory and I/O space of the microprocessor can be accessed directly without the intervention of the microprocessor or a program. During a DMA access the microprocessor is turned off by placing a logic one on the HOLD input. After placing a logic one on HOLD, the microprocessor issues a logic one on the HLDA to indicate a hold is in effect.

All Rights Reserved.Brey: The Intel Microprocessors, 7e During a HOLD, the microprocessor stops running the program and it places its address, data, and control bus connections at their impedance state. This in effect is the same as removing the microprocessor from its socket! While the microprocessor is held, other devices are free to gain access to its memory and I/O space to directly transfer data.

Because during a DMA, the memory and I/O are accessed simultaneously, 4 control signals are needed. The next slide illustrates a multiplexer used to generate these signals.

The only feature not supported by the chipset is the memory-to-memory DMA transfer described for the 8237 DMA controller integrated circuit. Intel removed this feature from the chipset because of the system architecture.
