Introduction

The PIC32CM Lx family of microcontroller units (MCUs) are pin and feature-compatible with the low-power SAM L1x/L2x family of microcontrollers and have extended memory and peripheral options. Traditional users of the SAM Lx series can use the PIC32CM Lx family MCUs to create applications that use advanced features, such as enhanced security and capacitive touch, in addition to the ultra low-power features.
