12-bit A/D Converter with Computation: This module incorporates
programmable acquisition time, allowing for a channel to be selected and a conversion to
be initiated without waiting for a sampling period and thus, reduce code overhead. It
has a new module called ADC2 with computation
features, which provides a digital filter and threshold interrupt functions.
Memory Endurance: The Flash cells for both program memory and data EEPROM are rated to last for many thousands of erase/write cycles – up to 10K for program memory and 100K for EEPROM. Data retention without refresh is conservatively estimated to be greater than 40 years.
Self-programmability: These devices can write to their own program memory spaces under internal software control. By using a boot loader routine located in the protected Boot Block at the top of program memory, it becomes possible to create an application that can update itself in the field.
Enhanced Peripheral Pin Select: The Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) module connects peripheral inputs and outputs to the device I/O pins. Only digital signals are included in the selections. All analog inputs and outputs remain fixed to their assigned pins.
