Key Features

• Core and Performance 8051 8-bit core with operation up to 16 MHz, suitable for deterministic control tasks and legacy 8-bit development flows.
• Memory 16 Kbytes of Flash program memory and 0.76 Kbytes of on-chip RAM for application code and runtime data.
• Analog 12-bit A/D converter with 8 channels and 50 ksps sampling rate for accurate sensor interfacing and analog measurement.
• Timers and PWMs Integrated 16-bit and 8-bit timers plus 16-bit and 8-bit PWM modules enable precise timing, pulse generation and motor or actuator control.
• Connectivity and I/O Supports I2C and UART interfaces and exposes 18 general-purpose I/O pins for peripheral control, status LEDs and external devices.
• System and Power On-chip LDO, power-on reset (POR), watchdog timer (WDT) and WT provide system reliability; power-saving modes and a 1.8–5.5 V supply range support flexible power designs.
• On-chip Peripherals Includes dedicated buzzer output, LED driver/high-current port and other integrated functions to reduce external component count.
• Oscillator and Temperature Supports internal and external oscillator options and operates across −40 to 85 °C for a wide range of environments.
• Package and Mounting Available in a 20-pin PDIP (300 mil) package designed for through-hole mounting, ideal for prototyping and legacy assembly processes.

Typical Applications
