Solution

DMA controllers are typically classified into two types based on their addressing capability:

  1. Single Address DMA Controller: This type of DMA controller uses the same address and data bus for both CPU and peripheral devices. It is also known as a unidirectional DMA controller.

  2. Multiple Address DMA Controller: This type of DMA controller has separate address and data buses for CPU and peripheral devices. It is also known as a bidirectional DMA controller.
