• Core & Performance M8051 8-bit core running up to 16 MHz internal oscillator for deterministic embedded control.
• Memory 16 KB on-chip Flash program memory with 768 bytes of SRAM for application code and runtime data.
• Power and Voltage Operates from 1.8 to 5.5 V, suitable for battery-powered designs; includes Power-On Reset (POR), Low Voltage Indicator (LVI) and Low Voltage Reset (LVR).
• Timers & PWM Multiple timer resources (8/16-bit timers) and PWM outputs (8-bit and 16-bit) for timing, motor/actuator and pulse-generation tasks.
• Analog 12-bit A/D converter with 8 channels and up to 50 ksps sample rate for precise sensor interfacing and data acquisition.
• Interfaces Integrated serial connectivity including I2C and UART for peripheral communication and host links.
• GPIO & I/O 18 general-purpose I/O lines with LED driver / high-current port capabilities for user interfaces and indicator control.
• System Reliability Watchdog timer (WDT), Power-On Reset and CRC/checksum generator support robust operation and firmware integrity checks.
• Clocking Internal and external oscillator options, including an internal 16 MHz RC oscillator with user trim.
• Package & Temperature Surface-mount 20-SOP (300 mil) package and operating temperature range of −40 to +85 °C for a wide range of embedded environments.

Typical Applications

• Battery-powered devices — Low-voltage operation (1.8–5.5 V) and power-management features make the MC96F8216PDN suitable for portable and battery-operated systems.
• Sensor hubs and data acquisition — The 12-bit, 8-channel ADC (50 ksps) enables multi-channel sensor sampling and conditioning in monitoring and control nodes.
• Motor and actuator control — Timers and 8/16-bit PWM outputs provide precise pulse generation and control for small motors and actuators.
• User interface and LED control — On-chip LED driver/high-current port and multiple GPIOs simplify implementation of status indicators and local UI elements.

Unique Advantages

• Wide supply range for flexible power designs: 1.8–5.5 V operation supports multiple battery chemistries and system rails.
• Integrated analog and timing peripherals: On-chip 12-bit ADC and multiple timers/PWM reduce external components and simplify board layout.
• Compact memory footprint for embedded firmware: 16 KB Flash and 768 bytes SRAM accommodate control firmware and runtime data for typical 8-bit applications.
• System-level safety features: Watchdog, POR, LVI/LVR and CRC support improved uptime and firmware integrity without extra parts.
• Surface-mount 20-SOP packaging: Standard 20-SOP (300 mil) package enables low-cost assembly for compact products.
