The Microchip microcontroller belongs to full-featured CAN product family that can be used in automotive and industrial applications. The multitude of communication peripherals found on the product family, such as CAN, SPI, two I2Cs, two UARTs, LIN, DMX, and DALI can handle a wide range of wired and wireless (using external modules) communication protocols for intelligent applications. This family includes a 12-bit ADC with Computation (ADC2) extensions for automated signal analysis to reduce the complexity of the application. This, combined with the Core Independent Peripherals integration capabilities, enables functions for motor control, power supply, sensor, signal and user interface applications.
