#112393 - and not only for UARTS
Responding to: ???'s previous message
In fact, there may be other reasons to use a micro anyway!

and not only for UARTS! I have seen timing restraints/design problems fall by the wayside by clustering small uCs instead of putting all in one processor. Do note, I make enough units to consider cost!
As one example I have a sandwich design where the keypad plug into the top layer and the keys are fed to a processor on the bottom. By processing the keypad with a LPC on the top layer I relieve the master of looking every 10ms and reduce the sandwich interconnect by 10 pins
