Abstract
A system may include a communication circuit as part of a microcontroller. One or more registers may be configured to enable communication between the communication circuit and one or more external peripherals without a CPU or other processor controlling the communication. The one or more registers may be configured to allow a specific trigger event to initiate communication between the communication circuit and the external peripheral. A DMA controller may transmit data from the communication circuit to a memory and may transmit data from the memory to the external peripheral.
