CIPs are found on many PIC MCUs including PIC16, PIC18, PIC24, dsPIC33 and PIC32MM families. Shown here are the rich set of peripherals, including the Core Independent Peripherals available on 16-bit PIC24 and dsPIC33 families. These peripherals, belonging to function focus areas such as Integrated Analog, Low Power and System Flexibility, enable battery powered applications such as IoT sensor nodes and Wearables. With Secure Data and Communication peripherals, the PIC MCUs can help in implementing privacy and protection to a connected application. Application specific PWMs and waveform control peripherals facilitate improving efficiency of motor control and digital power designs. User interface modules together with safety and monitoring features can ensure that consumer applications meet the target market’s demands and regulatory compliance. Some of the CIPs within these function focus areas include a Peripheral Trigger Generator (PTG), Configurable Logic Cells (CLC), crypto engine with Random Number Generator (RNG), high-speed comparators with blanking and digital filter functions, and Multiple Capture/Compare/PWM (MCCP).
