In the processing system, many peripherals are used to connect to external devices over industry-standard protocols, including CAN-FD, SPI, USB, Ethernet, I2C, and UART. Many of the peripherals support clock gating and power gating modes to reduce dynamic and static power consumption. These peripherals either use multiplexed I/O (MIO) to connect to the external components, or if required, they can also be routed into and through the PL using the extended multiplexed I/O (EMIO).
