12.1 Embedded Characteristics

  • Timers, PWM, I/Os and peripherals generate event triggers which are directly routed to destination peripherals, such as AFEC or DACC to start measurement/conversion without processor intervention.
  • UART, USART, QSPI, SPI, TWI, PWM, HSMCI, AES, AFEC, DACC, PIO, TC (Capture mode) also generate event triggers directly connected to the DMA Controller for data transfer without processor intervention.
  • Parallel capture logic is directly embedded in the PIO and generates trigger events to the DMA Controller to capture data without processor intervention.
  • PWM safety events (faults) are in combinational form and directly routed from event generators (AFEC, ACC, PMC, TC) to the PWM module.
  • PWM output comparators (OCx) generate events directly connected to the TC.
  • PMC safety event (clock failure detection) can be programmed to switch the MCK on reliable main RC internal clock without processor intervention.
