WAFER-945GSELVDS2 Direct Memory Access (DMA) enables some peripheral devices to bypass the system processor and communicate directly with the system memory. DIMM Dual Inline Memory Modules are a type of RAM that offer a 64-bit data bus and have separate electrical contacts on each side of the module. The digital inputs and digital outputs are general control signals that control the on/off circuit of external devices or TTL devices.
