Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) and integrated analog features are designed to implement a variety of functions and applications that do not need constant interaction with the Central Processing Unit (CPU). These features are available in many of our 8-bit PIC® and AVR® microcontroller (MCU) families.
Because CIPs can enable many simultaneous functions in a single MCU, you can use a smaller and more cost-effective device to implement complex control systems and create innovative designs. These blocks of configurable hardware intelligence require little to no code, consume minimal power and are much smaller than the RAM or Flash needed to implement the same functions in software.
