Serial Interfaces

The FlexComm interface contains up to nine serial peripherals. Each FlexComm interface can be selected by software to be a USART, SPI, I²C and I²S interface
I²C-bus interfaces support Fast-mode and fast-mode plus with data rates of up to 1 Mbit/s and with multiple address recognition and monitor mode

Digital Peripherals

DMA0 controller with 22 channels and up to 22 programmable triggers, able to access all memories and DMA-capable peripherals
DMA1 controller with 10 channels and up to 15 programmable triggers, able to access all memories and DMA-capable peripherals
CAN FD module with dedicated DMA controller
CRC engine block can calculate a CRC on supplied data using one of three standard polynomials with DMA support
Up to 45 general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins
GPIO registers are located on the AHB for fast access. The DMA supports GPIO ports
Up to eight GPIOs can be selected as pin interrupts (PINT), triggered by rising, falling or both input edges
Two GPIO grouped interrupts (GINT) enable an interrupt based on a logical (AND/OR) combination of input states
I/O pin configuration with support for up to 16 function options
Programmable logic unit (PLU) to create small combinational and/or sequential logic networks including state machines

Analog Peripherals

16-bit ADC with five differential channel pair (or 10 single-ended channels), and with multiple internal and external trigger inputs and sample rates of up to 2.0 M samples/sec. In single-ended mode, the ADC supports 2 simultaneous conversions, on input channels belonging to a differential pair
Integrated temperature sensor connected to the ADC
Comparator with five input pins and external or internal reference voltage

Timers

Five 32-bit standard general purpose asynchronous timers/counters that support up to four capture inputs and four compare outputs. Specific timer events can be selected to generate DMA requests
One SCTimer/PWM with eight input and 10 output functions (including 16 capture and match registers). Inputs and outputs can be routed to/from external pins and internally to/from selected peripherals. Internally, the SCTimer/PWM supports 16 match/captures, 16 events and 32 states
32-bit Real-time clock (RTC) with 1 s resolution running in the always-on power domain. Another timer in the RTC can be used for wake-up from all low-power modes including deep power down, with 1 ms resolution
Multiple-channel multi-rate 24-bit timer (MRT) for repetitive interrupt generation at up to four programmable, fixed rates
Windowed watchdog timer (WWDT) with FRO 1 MHZ as a clock source
Micro-tick timer running from the watchdog oscillator can be used to wake the device up from sleep and deep-sleep modes
42-bit free running OS Timer as a continuous timebase for the system, available in any reduced power modes

Clock Generation

96 MHz/12 MHz internal free running oscillator (FRO). This oscillator provides a selectable 96 MHz output, and a divided down 12 MHz output that can be used as a system clock. The FRO is trimmed to +/- 1% accuracy over the entire voltage (from 0 C to 85 C). The FRO is trimmed to +/- 2% accuracy over the entire voltage and -40 °C to 105 °C
32.768 kHz internal free running oscillator (FRO) with +/- 2% accuracy over the entire voltage and -40 C to 105 C
1 MHz internal low-power oscillator
Crystal oscillator with an operating frequency of 12 MHz to 32 MHz. Option for external clock input (bypass mode) for clock frequencies of up to 25 MHz
Crystal oscillator with 32.768 kHz operating frequency
PLL0 and PLL1 allows CPU operation up to the maximum CPU rate without the need for a high-frequency external clock
Clock output function with divider to monitor internal clocks
Frequency measurement unit for measuring the frequency of any on-chip or off-chip clock signal

Power-Saving Modes

Integrated Power Management Unit (PMU) to minimize power consumption
Reduced power modes: Sleep, deep sleep with RAM retention, power down with RAM and CPU retention, and deep power down with RAM retention
Configurable wake-up options from peripheral interrupts
The micro-tick timer running from the watchdog oscillator, and the real-time clock (RTC) running from the 32.678 kHz clock, can be used to wake the device up from sleep and deep-sleep modes
