The FPU accelerates single-cycle multiply-accumulate and divide operations, which matters when you are closing a current loop or running a FFT on vibration data.
Peripheral set and connectivity — CAN, USB OTG, and serial buses
This MCU includes a CAN 2.0B controller, a USB OTG (host/device) interface, plus multiple UART/USART, I²C, SPI, SSI, and Microwire serial ports. A quadrature encoder interface (QEI) is built in for motor position feedback. The 22-channel 12-bit ADC (A/D 22x12b) can sample multiple analog inputs without an external mux.
