The PIC microcontrollers with on-chip Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) offer flexibility, scalability and enhanced performance to address evolving needs to innovate. CIPs are independent modules that function without the constant supervision of the central processing unit (CPU). Designed-in hardware, they offer high throughput with near zero latency and can interact directly with other on-chip peripherals to implement a self-sustaining closed-loop system, offering higher integration. These intelligent CIPs require almost no processor resources to function, reducing the overall resource requirement to implement an application. These peripherals are designed to consume very little power with the capability to operate in power saving modes, making them ideal for low-power design. In addition, CIPs facilitate significant BOM cost savings by replacing off-chip discrete components with the integrated peripherals.
