Building a 16-bit DAC on an 8-bit MCU with the Configurable Logic Block (CLB)

Meet Mark Omo from Marcus Engineering, the first-place winner of the 2025 Configurable Logic Design Challenge! Discover how Mark used the CLB peripheral on the PIC16F13145 to create a true 16-bit Sigma-Delta DAC--no external components needed.

Learn how the CLB peripheral gives you FPGA-like flexibility integrated into the MCU with ultra-low power, deterministic latency, and parallel processing that runs even when the CPU sleeps.
