A96G148GR

The A96G148 is an 8-bit CMOS microcontroller from Abov's A96G14x series, built around an 8051-compatible M8051 core. It delivers a compact, cost-effective embedded control solution with integrated analog, timing and communication peripherals suitable for a wide range of control and sensor-interfacing applications.

With 32 Kbytes of on-chip Flash, 2.5 Kbytes of RAM, a 12-bit A/D converter and multiple low-power modes, the A96G148 balances performance, integration and power efficiency for space- and cost-sensitive designs.

Key Features

• Core  8051-compatible 8-bit CISC M8051 core with typical operation up to 16 MHz (minimum instruction execution time 125 ns at 16 MHz).
• Memory  32 Kbytes on-chip Flash (In-System Programming supported) with documented endurance, and 2.5 Kbytes of RAM for application code and data.
• Analog  12-bit A/D converter with 11 input channels and 133 ksps sampling rate for accurate sensor interfacing and measurement tasks.
• Timers & PWM  Multiple timers including Basic Interval Timer (BIT), Watch Dog Timer (WDT), an 8-bit timer and multiple 16-bit timers; 8-bit PWM and programmable pulse generation (PPG) for motor drive, buzzer or LED control.
• Interfaces  USI communication for serial peripheral connectivity and flexible serial modes (USART/SPI/I2C configurations available via USI blocks).
• System Reliability  Power-on reset (POR), low-voltage reset (LVR) and low-voltage indicator (LVI) with multiple detect levels to support robust operation across varying supply conditions.
• Power Management  On-chip oscillator plus external clock support and power saving modes (STOP, IDLE) to optimize energy use in battery-powered or standby-equipped products.
• Peripherals  Integrated drivers and utilities including buzzer driver, LED driver, watch timer (WT) and high-current port options for simplified system design.
• I/O & Package  26 general-purpose I/O lines in a space-efficient 28-TSSOP surface-mount package; operating temperature −40 to +85 °C and wide supply range 1.8–5.5 V.

Typical Applications

• Home Appliances  Control user interfaces, manage motor or valve timing, and handle sensor inputs using integrated ADC, timers and PWM outputs.
• Consumer Electronics  Implement display and audio indicators, keypad scanning and peripheral control while minimizing BOM with on-chip drivers and communication interfaces.
• Industrial Control  Perform sensor acquisition and real-time control tasks within a compact, temperature-rated package using watchdog and low-voltage supervision for reliability.
• Battery-Powered Devices  Leverage internal oscillator options and STOP/IDLE power modes together with wide VCC range to extend battery life in portable products.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated analog and timing  12-bit ADC with multi-channel inputs plus multiple timers and PWM reduce external component count for compact designs.
• Flexible power and clock options  Support for internal and external oscillators and a wide supply voltage range (1.8–5.5 V) simplifies design across different power domains.
• In-system programmable Flash  On-chip Flash with ISP capability and documented endurance enables field updates and iterative firmware development.
• Robust supervisory functions  POR, LVR, LVI and watchdog/watch timer features help maintain reliable operation under varying supply and runtime conditions.
• Compact, surface-mount package  28-TSSOP footprint with 26 I/O lines offers a balance of integration and PCB space efficiency for constrained layouts.
