3.8 CRC - Cyclic Redundancy Check

3.8.1 Introduction

The MPLAB® Code Configurator (MCC) Melody Cyclic Redundancy Check Peripheral Library (PLIBs) drivers generates APIs to support CRC-specific peripheral functionality on target MCUs.

The Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) module is coupled with a memory scanner that provides a means of performing CRC calculations in hardware, without CPU intervention. The memory scanner can automatically provide data from program Flash memory to the CRC module. The CRC module can also be operated by directly writing data to SFRs, without using a scanner.
