  • Combined analog architecture and functionality in a mixed-signal array
    Patent number: 11105851
    Abstract: A microcontroller comprises a plurality of digital peripheral blocks and a direct memory access (DMA) controller coupled thereto. The plurality of digital peripheral blocks includes a digital peripheral block that is configured to issue a DMA request. Upon receipt of the DMA request, the DMA controller is configured to retrieve configuration information and to write the configuration information to a configuration register associated with a circuit element of the microcontroller.
    Type: Grant
