MCU recommendation

Hi All,

I use AVR 0/1 series MCU quite a lot and the best part for me is the Event system in those MCUs. Recently, I need an MCU which runs at higher frequency like 40Mhz+ and have the feature of Event system. I am not keeping my search only till AVR devices. I need advice from folks on other MCUs which has same feature as of Event system. I know that other manufacturers can call these feature with a different name.

what is an Event system?

"The Event System (EVSYS) enables direct peripheral-to-peripheral signaling. It allows a change in one peripheral
(the event generator) to trigger actions in other peripherals (the event users) through event channels, without
using the CPU. It is designed to provide short and predictable response times between peripherals, allowing for
autonomous peripheral control and interaction, and also for synchronized timing of actions in several peripheral
modules. It is thus a powerful tool for reducing the complexity, size, and execution time of the software"


Thank you. v

SAM D/L/C devices all have event system, which appeared before AVR one. They are based on Cortex-M0+ running at 48 MHz. Sounds exactly like what you want.

sanka1p:
 That’s awesome and good to know. Just wondering any other MCU series have similar feature ?

pcprogrammer:
STM32 devices also have some event driven options, but I'm not familiar with what is in AVR series of MCU's and if it really compares to what is in STM32 devices.

PartialDischarge:
In PsoC you can wire modules, timers, counters, ADCs... so I guess that is your "event" system.
