Overview of MC96F8208SR – 8-bit CMOS Microcontroller with 8 Kbytes Flash
The MC96F8208S is an 8-bit CMOS microcontroller based on a high-speed 8051 CPU core, integrating Flash program memory and a broad set of analog and digital peripherals for embedded control and sensing applications. With an 8 Kbyte Flash code memory and integrated A/D, timers and serial interfaces, it targets compact, cost-sensitive designs such as small home appliances and general embedded control systems.
Designed for flexible supply and environmental conditions, the device supports a 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply range and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C, and includes on-chip oscillator and power-saving modes to reduce external components and runtime power consumption.
Key Features
- Core High-speed 8-bit 8051 CPU architecture with an internal 16 MHz RC oscillator (±1.5%, TA = 0 ~ +50 °C) and support for an external oscillator.
- Memory 8 Kbytes of in-system programmable Flash code memory and 512 bytes (0.5 KB) of SRAM for data and stack storage.
- Analog 12-bit analog-to-digital converter with 10 channels and up to 50 ksps sampling rate for multi-channel sensor interfacing.
- Serial Interfaces Integrated I2C, SPI and UART peripherals to simplify connectivity with sensors, displays and external devices.
- Timers and PWM Multiple timing resources including 8/16-bit timer/counters, a 16-bit PPG, 8-bit PWM, basic interval timer and buzzer driving port for control and timing tasks.
- System Reliability On-chip Power-On Reset (POR), Low Voltage Reset/Detect (LVR/LVI) and Watchdog Timer with a 5 kHz RC oscillator to improve system robustness.
- Low Power & Power Management Power saving modes and an on-chip LDO help minimize power consumption across a wide supply range (1.8–5.5 V).
- I/O and Packaging Up to 18 programmable I/O lines available; supplied in a 20-TSSOP (173 mil) surface-mount package for space-efficient PCB designs.
- Operating Range Specified for use from −40 °C to 85 °C to meet common industrial and consumer temperature requirements.
Typical Applications
- Small Home Appliances Control and monitoring functions for appliances — leveraging the integrated timers, ADC and serial interfaces for sensor and user-interface tasks.
- Embedded Control & Sensing Multi-channel 12-bit ADC and serial buses make the device suitable for compact sensor hubs and control nodes.
- User Interface Control UART, SPI, I2C and general-purpose I/O enable display, keypad and communication interfaces for consumer and industrial interfaces.
Unique Advantages
- Highly integrated peripheral set: Combines ADC, timers, PWM, serial interfaces and POR/LVR on-chip to reduce bill-of-materials and simplify board design.
- Wide supply voltage flexibility: Operation from 1.8 V to 5.5 V allows single-supply designs across a range of battery and regulated systems.
- Precision analog input: 12-bit, 10-channel ADC at 50 ksps enables accurate multi-channel sensor measurements in compact systems.
- Compact memory footprint: 8 Kbytes Flash and 512 bytes SRAM provide sufficient program and data space for many control and sensing applications while keeping costs low.
- Built-in reliability functions: POR, LVR/LVI and a watchdog timer improve system uptime and recovery from anomalous conditions.
- Validated documentation and package options: Device is provided in a 20-TSSOP surface-mount package and supported by detailed datasheet revisions and application information.
