# Industrial Specification: Bus Interface Unit

## 1. Technical Definition
A hardware component within a DMA engine that manages data transfer between the DMA controller and the system bus.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.8-1.2 V (core voltage), 1.5-1.8 V (I/O voltage), 0-85°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Core voltage &lt;0.75 V or &gt;1.25 V sustained for &gt;10 ms, junction temperature &gt;125°C, signal integrity violation (eye diagram closure &lt;20% margin)**, Mechanism: **Electromigration at current densities &gt;1.0 MA/cm² (Black's equation), dielectric breakdown at electric fields &gt;10 MV/cm, latch-up triggered by substrate injection currents &gt;100 mA**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Joule Heating & Thermal Resistance**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = I^2 R = \frac{V^2}{R}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Governs heating element sizing for shrink tunnels/sealers.
