General Description

The device is a Flash Memory A/D type 8-bit high performance RISC architecture microcontroller.  Offering users the convenience of Flash Memory multi-programming features, the device also  includes a wide range of functions and features. Other memory includes an area of RAM Data  Memory as well as an area of true EEPROM memory for storage of non-volatile data such as serial  numbers, calibration data etc.

Analog feature includes a multi-channel 12-bit A/D converter. A single extremely flexible Timer  Module provides timing, pulse generation and PWM generation functions. Protective features such  as an internal Watchdog Timer, Low Voltage Reset and Low Voltage Detector coupled with excellent  noise immunity and ESD protection ensure that reliable operation is maintained in hostile electrical  environments.

A full choice of internal high and low speed oscillators are provided and the two fully integrated  system oscillators require no external components for their implementation. The ability to operate  and switch dynamically between a range of operating modes using different clock sources gives  users the ability to optimize microcontroller operation and minimize power consumption.

The inclusion of flexible I/O programming features and Time-Base funcitons along with many other  features ensure that the device will find excellent use in applications such as timed wake up products  in addition to many others.
