Key Features

• Core M8051 8-bit core (8051 compatible) with 2 clocks per cycle and internal high-speed RC oscillator up to 16 MHz.
• Memory 16 Kbytes on-chip Flash, 256 bytes IRAM + 768 bytes XRAM (1 Kbytes total SRAM) and 256 bytes of Data Flash for non-volatile data storage.
• Analog 12-bit A/D converter with 8 input channels and 9 µs conversion time (measured at 2.7 V), suitable for multi-channel sensor inputs.
• Timers & Pulse Generation Three 16-bit timers (T0/T1/T2), an 8-bit Basic Interval Timer and pulse generation support for timing, PWM-style control and event scheduling.
• Serial Interfaces Integrated 8-bit I2C, 8-bit SPI and a Low-Power UART to support common sensor and peripheral communications.
• System Reliability Watchdog Timer, Power-On Reset (reset release level 1.2 V), Low-Voltage Reset with multiple detection levels and a 16-bit CRC/checksum generator and 128-bit unique ID for device tracking and integrity checks.
• Clocking & Oscillators Internal HF RC oscillator (16 MHz ±1.5% @ 0–50°C; ±2.0% across –40 to +85°C) and internal LF RC oscillator (40 kHz ±15%), plus support for external crystals.
• Low Power & Power Modes STOP and IDLE power-down modes and wide operating voltage ranges down to 1.71 V depending on clock source, enabling battery-operated and low-power applications.
• GPIO & Packages Up to 18 general-purpose I/O lines in a compact 20‑TSSOP (173 mil) surface-mount package; operating temperature –40 to +85 °C.

Typical Applications

• Battery-powered sensors — Low-voltage operation and STOP/IDLE modes make the A96L116FRN suitable for energy-conscious sensor nodes and portable instruments.
• Sensor interfacing and data acquisition — 8-channel 12-bit ADC and multiple serial interfaces simplify multi-sensor measurement and data aggregation tasks.
• Embedded control and appliance control — Multiple 16-bit timers, pulse generation and watchdog support provide deterministic timing for motor/actuator control and appliance sequencing.
• Real-time clock/calendar applications — Integrated RTCC functionality supports timekeeping for scheduling, logging and low-power timed wake-up.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated memory mix: 16 KB Flash plus separate IRAM/XRAM and Data Flash reduce external memory needs and simplify firmware/data partitioning.
• Multi-channel precision ADC: 12-bit, 8-channel A/D with µs-class conversion time enables accurate, responsive sensor measurements without added front-end components.
• Comprehensive timing resources: Multiple 16-bit timers, BIT and pulse-generation capabilities provide flexible timing and control options for real-time embedded tasks.
• Robust system controls: Watchdog, multi-level low-voltage reset/indicator and CRC/checksum generator improve reliability and help safeguard field-deployed systems.
• Wide operating envelope: Support for internal and external oscillators plus operating voltage from 1.71 V to 3.6 V and –40 to +85 °C enable diverse deployment scenarios.
