-All peripherals are connected to the processor via PPI (Programmable Peripheral Interconnect), ensuring flexible use of units. Peripherals have input signals Task that trigger their operation and output signals Event, which inform of some situationThese signals can be connected, creating hardware dependencies between units, making it possible to synchronise the operation of peripherals without the need for processor use. Some units can be handled with an internal DMA mechanism (EasyDMA) that supports data transmission between peripherals and memory without code execution. To enable safe wireless transmission, some cryptographic hardware units are included: +
- +
-    RNG – Random Number Generator +
-    ACL – Access contol list +
-    AAR – Accelerated address resolver +
-    CCM – Cipher block chaining - message authentication code +
-    ECB – AES electronic codebook +
-    Cryptocell +
