A96G181DS

The A96G181DS is an 8-bit CMOS microcontroller based on an M8051-compatible core, integrating 2K bytes of on-chip FLASH and 256 bytes of IRAM. It combines analog, timing and power-management peripherals in a compact 10-SSOP surface-mount package for embedded control applications.

Designed for battery-operated equipment and home-appliance use, the device offers low-voltage operation (1.8–5.5 V), in-system programming, and integrated analog and PWM resources to simplify sensor interfacing and control tasks while maintaining robust reset and watchdog protections.

Key Features

• Core & Performance — M8051-compatible 8-bit core with 2-clock-per-cycle architecture; supports main-clock operation up to 16 MHz (minimum instruction execution time 125 ns @16 MHz).
• On‑chip Memory — 2K bytes of FLASH with ISP support, 30,000 write endurance and 10-year data retention; 256 bytes of internal RAM (IRAM) for stack and runtime data.
• Analog — 12-bit A/D converter with 8 input channels for precise sensor measurement and analog signal acquisition.
• Timers & PWM — Multiple timers including 8-bit BIT and WDT, one 8-bit timer (T0) and two 16-bit timers (T1/T2); supports 8-bit PWM and 16-bit PWM outputs for motor and power control tasks.
• System Reliability — Power-on reset (POR) release level specified, Low Voltage Reset (LVR) with multiple detect levels, Low Voltage Indicator (LVI) and Window Watchdog Timer (WDT) for safe operation under supply variations.
• Clocking — Internal RC oscillator options including HSI 32 MHz and LSI 128 kHz for flexible clocking without external crystals.
• I/O & Packaging — 8 general-purpose I/O lines and compact 10-SSOP (150 mil) surface-mount package for space-constrained designs.
• Operating Range — Low-voltage operation from 1.8 to 5.5 V and available temperature coverage; A96G181DS is specified for –40 °C to +85 °C with extended-temperature variants available to +105 °C.

Typical Applications

• Home Appliances — Controls user interfaces, timing and basic motor or actuator functions using integrated timers, PWM and ADC channels.
• Battery‑Operated Devices — Low-voltage operation and internal oscillator options make the device suitable for portable and battery-powered products.
• Sensor Interface and Control — 12-bit ADC with 8 channels enables multi-sensor data acquisition and analog signal processing in compact embedded systems.
• Embedded Control Modules — On-chip FLASH with ISP, watchdog and reset features provide a reliable platform for simple control logic and field updates.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated peripherals: ADC, multiple timers, PWM and watchdog functions reduce external components and simplify BOM.
• In‑system programmable FLASH: 2K bytes of ISP-capable FLASH with 30,000 write endurance and 10-year retention supports field updates and long-term use.
• Wide supply and temperature capability: 1.8–5.5 V operation and industrial temperature support enable flexible deployment across battery and ambient conditions.
• Compact package footprint: 10-SSOP surface-mount package fits space-constrained boards while providing necessary I/O and peripheral access.
• Robust power and safety features: POR, multi-level LVR/LVI and Window WDT improve system stability under brownout and transient conditions.
