Abstract
An operation method of a direct memory access (DMA) circuit comprising a buffer circuit and two channels includes following steps: determining first and second start addresses from the buffer circuit respectively according to first and second read requests of first and second channels that respectively correspond to first and second data; determining a read address according to the first start address and a read count; reading a first part of the first data from the buffer circuit according to the read address and updating the read count; reading at least one part of the second data from the buffer circuit according to the second start address after reading the first part of the first data; updating the read address according to the first start address and the updated read count; and reading a second part of the first data from the buffer circuit according to the updated read address.
