Q1. What is the number of bits used in the terminal count register to store the byte count for a DMA transfer?

🔹 A. 8 bits
🔹 B. 14 bits
🔹 C. 16 bits
🔹 D. 32 bits

💡 Difficulty: easy | ✅ Correct: B

Q2. A system needs to move 20 KB of data using the 8257 DMA controller. Which strategy correctly accomplishes the transfer without exceeding the 16 KB limit of a single DMA operation?

🔹 A. Perform two DMA transfers: first 16 KB, then the remaining 4 KB
🔹 B. Increase the terminal count register to 20 KB and ignore overflow
🔹 C. Split the data into four 5 KB transfers across four channels
🔹 D. Use a single transfer and rely on the CPU to handle the extra bytes

💡 Difficulty: medium | ✅ Correct: B

Q3. A microcontroller has four DMA channels, but Channel 0 is reserved for a high‑priority audio stream. An I/O device requires an 8‑bit interface and a 10 KB transfer. Which channel should be assigned to this device?

🔹 A. Channel 0
🔹 B. Channel 1
🔹 C. Channel 2
🔹 D. Channel 3

💡 Difficulty: hard | ✅ Correct: C
