16. 1. Power-on Reset (POR), Power-up Timer (PWRT) and Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) 2. Brown-out Reset (BOR): A momentary dip in the power supply to the device has been detected which may result malfunction. 3. The Controller Area Network (CAN) module is a serial interface, useful for communicating with other CAN modules or digital signal controller devices. 4. The 10-bit, high-speed Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) allows conversion of an analog input signal to a 10-bit digital number. 5. Input capture is useful for such modes as: Frequency/Period/Pulse Measurements 6. Output Compare is useful in applications requiring operational modes, such as: Generation of Variable Width Output Pulses Power Factor Correction 7. The Inter-Integrated Circuit module provides complete hardware support for both Slave and Multi- Master modes of the 120 serial communication standard with a 16-bit interface. ARITHMETICS Program Memory Data Memory With two address generators Input/Output Ports Peripherals Program Counter

17. 8. The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) module is a synchronous serial interface. It is useful for communicating with other peripheral devices, such as EEPROMs, shift registers, display drivers and A/D converters, or other microcontrollers. 9. Timers 5x16 bit timers 10. The QEI module provides the interface to incremental encoders for obtaining mechanical position data. 11. PWM. This module simplifies the task of generating multiple, synchronized Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) outputs. In particular, the following power and motion control applications are supported by the PWM module: 12. UART. UNIVERSAL ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER TRANSMITTER: Full-Duplex, 8 or 9-bit Data Communication 13.
