System Integration Unit (SIU)
16.1
Overview
The System integration unit (SIU) controls this device's reset configuration, pad configuration, external
interrupt, general purpose I/O (GPIO), internal peripheral multiplexing, and the system reset operation.
The reset configuration block contains the external pin boot configuration logic. The pad configuration
block controls the static electrical characteristics of I/O pins. The GPIO block provides uniform and
discrete input/output control of the MCU I/O pins. The reset controller performs reset monitoring of
internal and external reset sources, and drives the RSTOUT pin. The SIU is accessed by the core through
the peripheral bus.
