Abstract
Disclosed systems, methods and devices relate, generally, to autonomous signal processing and autonomous signal processing units of a microcontroller. The autonomous data processing units may be configured to perform one or more functions independently, without input from a processing unit of the microcontroller, and may, monitor and/or perform operations that are part of one or more control loops that operate independent of the microcontroller processor. The control loops may or may not be in support of control loops monitored by the processor of the microcontroller.
