The Microchip microcontroller features analog, core independent, and communication peripherals for a wide range of general purpose and low power applications. These 28/40/44-pin devices are equipped with a 10-bit ADC with Computation (ADC2) automating Capacitive Voltage Divider (CVD) techniques for advanced touch sensing, averaging, filtering, oversampling and performing automatic threshold comparisons. They also offer a set of core independent peripherals such as Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG), Windowed Watchdog timer (WWDT), Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)/Memory Scan, Zero-Cross Detect (ZCD), Configurable Logic Cell (CLC), and Peripheral Pin Select (PPS), providing increased design flexibility and lower system cost.
