Peripherals and I/O complement
Forty general-purpose I/O lines are brought out to the 48-LQFP package. On-chip connectivity includes I²C, SPI/SSP, UART/USART, and a SmartCard interface alongside the USB controller. An 8-channel 10-bit ADC handles basic analog sensing. Internal oscillator means no external crystal is required for UART or I²C operation — though USB requires the internal oscillator's accuracy to meet full-speed timing without an external resonator.
No end-of-life notice.
