Processor Core
Memory
Memory
Synergy MCUs offer advanced memory features for greater design and development flexibility, and provide enhanced protection against unauthorized or unintentional access. The memory protection unit safeguards designated memory regions from unauthorized read or write attempts. The memory mirror function (MMF) provides the flexibility to virtually re-map the address of sections of code flash.
Analog
Analog
Synergy MCUs provide a range of analog signal processing and generation capabilities, including A/D conversion, D/A conversion. and analog signal comparison. The eventlink controller (ELC), PWM, external triggers, or software can trigger signal processing actions. Built-in diagnostics ensure reliable performance and synchronization offers protection against noise interference between modules.
Timing & Control
Timing & Control
Synergy MCUs feature a variety of timing and control functions necessary for real time applications. The asynchronous general-purpose timer (AGT) provides timer functions and signal measurement and generation capabilities, while general pulse-width modulation (PWM) timers generate pulse-based waveforms for a variety of applications.
Human Machine Interface
Human Machine Interface (HMI)
Synergy MCUs provide a variety of HMI features for building interactive applications. Several components offer hardware acceleration for user displays, while a touch sense input module enables capturing user actions. Some MCU groups also offer support for capturing parallel data from imaging and other external I/O devices.
Connectivity
Connectivity
Synergy MCUs provide a wide range of options for connecting and communicating with external devices. Several peripherals offer synchronous or asynchronous serial communications, such as inter-integrated Circuit (I²C), serial peripheral interface (SPI), serial sound interface (SSI), and the serial communications interface (SCI).
