| //! \section sec_aux Introduction |
| //! |
| //! The AUX is a collective description of all the analog peripherals (ADC, comparators, and current source) and |
| //! the digital modules in the AUX power domain (AUX_PD) such as the sensor controller, timers, time-to-digital |
| //! converter, etc. AUX_PD is located within the AON voltage domain of the device. |
| //! |
| //! The sensor controller has the ability to |
| //! do its own power and clock management of AUX_PD, independently of the MCU domain. The sensor |
| //! controller can also continue doing tasks while the MCU subsystem is powered down, but with limited |
| //! resources compared to the larger MCU domain. |
| //! |
| //! The AUX power domain is connected to the MCU system through an asynchronous interface, ensuring |
| //! that all modules connected to the AUX bus are accessible from the system CPU. |
| //! Accessing the analog peripherals from the system CPU must be done by using TI-provided |
| //! drivers to ensure proper control of power management. |
| //! |
| //! \note To ease development of program code running on the sensor controller, TI provides a tool |
| //! chain for writing software for the controller, Sensor Controller Studio (SCS), which is a fully |
| //! integrated tool consisting of an IDE, compiler, assembler, and linker. |
