A '''Peripheral DMA controller''' is a feature found in moderm micro controllers.

This is typically a [[FIFO]] with automated control features for driving implictly included modules in a microcontroller such as [[UART]]s.

This takes a large burden from the [[operating system]] and reduces the number of interrupts[[interrupt]]s required to service and control these types of functions.

and control these type of functions.
