Post by thread:[PIC] CLC peripheral...

Does anyone have some examples of how the new CLC (Configurable Logic Cell) might be useful? I'm having trouble thinking of what can be done with it, other than just set up some (or all) of the pins in the PIC as a PLD. Not that a $0.60 single-output PLD in an SOT-23 isn't sort of interesting in itself, but that seems a waste of the rest of the PIC. BillW

So if you find a good use for it let our friend Matt know. Seriously though - at MASTERs last year there wasn't much definitive talk on what they imagined you could use it for. Linear feedback shift register? I'm not sure if it has feedback taps. -- Martin K.

Added a few to an order, thanks for the heads up! TTYL
