What this Cortex-M0 MCU brings to a control board
That's enough connectivity to talk to a temperature sensor, a serial EEPROM, and a Modbus transceiver on the same chip. Internal oscillator means no external crystal for basic timing — one less BOM line to source. 39 GPIOs.
45 MHz — where it fits in the timing budget
45 MHz core clock. 4K x 8 RAM.
