    Abstract: A single chip microcontroller has a master core and at least one slave core. The master core is clocked by a master system clock and the slave core is clocked by a slave system clock and wherein each core is associated with a plurality of peripheral devices to form a master microcontroller and a slave microcontroller, respectively. A communication interface is provided between the master microcontroller and the slave microcontroller, wherein the communication interface has a plurality of configurable directional data registers coupled with a flow control logic which is configurable to assign a direction to each of the plurality of configurable data registers.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include voltage comparators. The voltage comparators may include a first input configured to receive a first analog voltage, a second input configured to receive a second analog voltage, a first digital delay line configured to propagate the first analog voltage through a first delay circuit and the second analog voltage through a second circuit, and an output circuit configured to provide a comparator output based upon whether values representing the first analog voltage or the second analog voltage propagated faster through the first digital delay line. The comparator output may be configured to identify whether the first analog voltage or the second analog voltage is greater.
