a counter with two compare channels. The counter can be divided into two
sections to report both angular position and the number of
revolutions. | NA |
| PTC | Yes | Yes | Yes | Available in both series. | Captures signals to detect touch on capacitive
sensors. The external capacitive touch sensor is formed on a PCB with
sensor electrodes connected to the PTC's analog front end through the
device's I/O pins. Supports both self-capacitance and mutual-capacitance
sensors. | NA |
| DIVAS | Yes | Yes | Yes | Available in both series. | Provides hardware acceleration for 32-bit integer
