A96R725C

The A96R725C is an 8-bit CMOS microcontroller based on a high-speed M8051 core, delivering a compact, integrated platform for embedded control applications. It combines 12 Kbytes of Flash program memory, 256 bytes of IRAM, rich analog and display peripherals, and on-chip power and clock management to serve home appliance and industrial control use cases.

Designed for flexible embedded designs, the device integrates data conversion, timers, LCD and IR drive support, reliability features and multiple low-power modes to simplify system design and reduce component count.

Key Features

• Core  M8051-based 8-bit CPU (M8051, 2 clocks per cycle) providing established instruction compatibility for control-oriented firmware.
• Memory  12 Kbytes of Flash program memory with self read/write capability and on-chip In-System Programming (ISP); 256 bytes of IRAM (excluding 32 bytes reserved for LCD).
• Program Endurance & Retention  Flash endurance specified (10,000 cycles for sectors 0–375; 100,000 cycles for sectors 376–383) and 10-year data retention.
• Analog  10-bit ADC with 8 inputs for sensor interfacing and analog measurement.
• Display & LED Drive  Full LCD driver (26 segments × 8 commons) plus built-in transistors for IR LED drive and LCD backlight drive to simplify user-interface designs.
• Timers & PWM  Multiple timers including 8/16-bit timer/counter, basic interval timer, watch timer, watchdog timer, and 16-bit PWM for timing and control tasks.
• System Reliability  On-chip power-on reset (POR), low-voltage reset (LVR), low-voltage detect (LVI) and a 16-bit CRC/checksum generator to assist system integrity checks.
• Clocks & Oscillators  Internal and external oscillator support; internal HF and LF IRCs provided (internal 8 MHz HFIRC and 32 kHz LFIRC referenced in product documentation) with user trim options.
• I/O and Packaging  45 total I/O pins (6 normal I/O + 39 shared with LCD signals) in a 50‑Pellet package.
• Operating Conditions  Wide supply range of 1.8–3.6 V and industrial temperature range −40 °C to 85 °C.

Typical Applications

• Home Appliances  User-interface and control functions using the integrated LCD driver, ADC and timers for remote and local control.
• Industrial Control  Compact control and monitoring applications leveraging the M8051 core, CRC/checksum generator and wide operating voltage and temperature ranges.
• Remote Controls & IR Devices  IR LED drive transistor and carrier generation support for remote-sensor and IR transmission designs.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated peripherals: Integrated ADC, LCD driver, PWM, CRC generator and built-in LED/backlight drive reduce external component count and simplify BOM.
• On-chip programming and debug: In-System Programming (ISP) and on-chip debug support streamline development and firmware updates.
• Robust flash lifecycle: Documented flash endurance and 10-year retention provide predictable long-term program memory behavior for deployed products.
• Flexible clocking: Internal HF and LF IRCs plus external oscillator support enable designs that balance precision and power.
• Wide operating range: 1.8–3.6 V supply and −40 °C to 85 °C operation make the device suitable across typical embedded environments.
