1.1 Processor Overview

This evaluation kit uses the PIC32CM5164JH01048 microcontroller units (MCUs) and its key features are as follows:

  • For performance
    • Arm® Cortex®-M0+ CPU
    • picoPower® Technology and sleep modes
  • For security
    • Integrity Check Module (ICM) to monitor memories based on Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA1, SHA224, SHA256), DMA assisted
    • Immutable Secure Boot
    • Clock failure detection
    • ECC support with fault injection for Flash, Data Flash, and SRAM
    • CRC32 computation on SRAM, Flash, and Data Flash sections through the Device Service Unit (DSU)
  • For touch input
    • Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC)
    • Driven shield and parallel acquisition/boost mode for superior water tolerance
    • Excellent noise immunity and four times faster response time
