Microcontroller architecture including a predefined logic area and customizable logic areas

摘要

A microcontroller architecture in accordance with this invention provides modules or circuitry that may be programmed with a protocol for communication or other application. The architecture in accordance with this invention provides at least one module on a high bandwidth or system bus and a second module on a second low bandwidth or peripheral bus that allows a maker to program a module needing specified processing bandwidths using the desired bus. This allows microcontrollers to be produced that are adaptable without a great increase of cost or loss functionality.
