1.2 Features
The processor features and benefits are:
• tight integration of system peripherals reduces area and development costs
• Thumb instruction set combines high code density with 32-bit performance
• power control optimization of system components
• integrated sleep modes for low power consumption
• fast code execution permits slower processor clock or increases sleep mode time
• hardware multiplier
• deterministic, high-performance interrupt handling for time-critical applications
• Serial Wire Debug reduces the number of pins required for debugging.
