System Integration Unit Lite (SIUL)
11.1
Introduction
This chapter describes the System Integration Unit Lite (SIUL), which is used for the management of the
pads and their configuration. It controls the multiplexing of the alternate functions used on all pads and is
responsible for managing the external interrupts to the device.

Overview
The System Integration Unit Lite (SIUL) controls the MCU pad configuration, ports, general-purpose
input and output (GPIO) signals and external interrupts with trigger event configuration.

The module provides dedicated general-purpose pads that can be configured as either inputs or outputs.
When configured as an output, you can write to an internal register to control the state driven on the
associated output pad. When configured as an input, you can detect the state of the associated pad by
reading the value from an internal register. When configured as an input and output, the pad value can be
read back, which can be used a method of checking if the written value appeared on the pad.
