MIXED SIGNAL MICROCONTROLLER
SLAS632 -- DECEMBER 2008
watchdog timer+ (WDT+)
The primary function of the WDT+ module is to perform a controlled system restart after a software problem
occurs. If the selected time interval expires, a system reset is generated. If the watchdog function is not needed
in an application, the module can be configured as an interval timer and can generate interrupts at selected time
intervals.
hardware multiplier
The multiplication operation is supported by a dedicated peripheral module. The module performs 16×16,
16×8, 8×16, and 8×8 bit operations. The module is capable of supporting signed and unsigned multiplication
as well as signed and unsigned multiply and accumulate operations. The result of an operation can be accessed
immediately after the operands have been loaded into the peripheral registers. No additional clock cycles are
required.
universal serial communication interface (USCI)
The USCI modules are used for serial data communication. The USCI module supports synchronous
communication protocols such as SPI (3 pin or 4 pin) or I²C, and asynchronous combination protocols such as
UART, enhanced UART with automatic baudrate detection (LIN), and IrDA.
The USCI A module provides support for SPI (3 pin or 4 pin), UART, enhanced UART, and IrDA.
The USCI B module provides support for SPI (3 pin or 4 pin) and I²C.
