Dolphin Integration enriches its line of 80251 with a new DMA for high density and robustness

Grenoble, France -- August 23, 2013 -- Dolphin Integration presents a new peripheral to extend its wide offer for 80251 and 8051 microcontroller.

The FlipDMA is proposed with many features, while presenting a small area of 0.03 mm2 for 2 channels on TSMC 0.18 µm G:

Choice of number of channels
3 functional transfer modes: burst, alternate cycle, single byte
optional features to check integrity of the data flow
among other innovations

This DMA is available for any MCU of the Dolphin Integration offering, especially with the low power 16-bit MCU named Flip80251 Hurricane.

The user can thus benefit from a solution offering

the lowest area thanks to combining the code density of the 80251 and the density of the DMA interface controller
the lowest power consumption thanks to the Hurricane design, optimized for low power: 136 µA/DMIPS in typical conditions on TSMC 0.18 µm G
while benefitting from a high processing power: 0.6 DMIPS/MHz for the Dhrystone V2.1 with 200 loops
