## Features
### Ultra-Low-Power
* Next-generation 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ core: 2x more CoreMark/mA than the closest 8/16-bit architecture
* Single-cycle fast I/O access port facilitates bit banging and software protocol emulation, keeping an 8-bit look and feel
* Multiple flexible low-power modes, including new compute clocking option which reduces dynamic power by placing peripherals in an asynchronous stop mode
* LPUART, SPI, I2C, ADC, DAC, LP timer and DMA support low-power mode operation without waking up the core
### Memory
* Up to 32 KB flash with 64 byte flash cache, up to 4 KB RAM
* Security circuitry to prevent unauthorized access to RAM and flash contents
* 8 KB ROM and built-in boot loader simplifies the effort to program MCU and allows for easy flash upgrades
### Performance
* Arm® Cortex®-M0+ core, 48 MHz core frequency over full voltage and temperature range (-40C to +105C)
* Bit manipulation engine for improved bit handling of peripheral modules
* Thumb instruction set combines high code density with 32-bit performance
* Up to 4-ch. DMA for peripheral and memory servicing with reduced CPU loading and faster system throughput
* Independent-clocked COP guards against clock skew or code runaway for fail-safe applications
### Mixed-Signal
* 12-bit ADC with configurable resolution, sample time and conversion speed/power
* Integrated temperature sensor
* High-speed comparator with internal 6-bit DAC
* 12-bit DAC with DMA support
### Timing and Control
* One 6-ch. and one 2-ch. 16-bit low-power timer PWM modules with DMA support
* 2-ch., 32-bit periodic interrupt timer provides time base for RTOS task schedule or trigger source for ADC conversion
* Low-power timer allows operation in all power modes except for VLLS0
* Real-time clock with calendar
### Human-Machine Interface
* Capacitive touch sense interface supports up to 16 external electrodes and DMA data transfer
* GPIO with pin interrupt support, DMA request capability and other pin control options
### Connectivity and Communications
* I2C with DMA support, up to 100 kbps and compatible with SMBus V2 features
