The IA8237 uses innovASIC’s innovative new f 3 Program to provide industry with parts that
other vendors have declared obsolete. By specifying parts through this program a customer is
assured of never having a component become obsolete again. This advanced information sheet
assumes the original part has been designed in, and so provides a summary of capabilities only. For
new designs contact innovASIC for more detailed information.

The IA8237 is a programmable direct memory access (DMA) mega-function designed to be
functionally equivalent to the Intel 8237A and Harris 82C37A devices. The A8237 controls data
transfers between memory and peripherals, memory-to-memory transfers, and block memory
initialization. Four independently programmable channels are available, and requests may be
generated via hardware or software.
A block diagram is shown in Figure 1.
