GENERAL DESCRIPTION
8051 compatible instruction set (20 MHz max)
High performance single-cycle core
32 kHz external crystal, on-chip programmable PLL
12 interrupt sources, 2 priority levels
Dual data pointers, extended 11-bit stack pointer
On-chip peripherals
Time interval counter (TIC)
UART, I2C®, and SPI® Serial I/O
Watchdog timer (WDT)
Power supply monitor (PSM)
The ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC8431 are complete smart
transducer front ends, that integrates a high performance self-
calibrating multichannel ADC, a dual DAC, and an optimized
single-cycle 20 MHz 8-bit MCU (8051 instruction set compatible)
on a single chip.
The ADuC841 and ADuC842 are identical with the exception
of the clock oscillator circuit; the ADuC841 is clocked directly
from an external crystal up to 20 MHz whereas the ADuC842
uses a 32 kHz crystal with an on-chip PLL generating a
programmable core clock up to 16.78 MHz.
Power
Normal: 4.5 mA @ 3 V (core CLK = 2.098 MHz)
Power-down: 10 µA @ 3 V2
Development tools
Low cost, comprehensive development system
incorporating nonintrusive single-pin emulation,
IDE based assembly and C source debugging
The ADuC843 is identical to the ADuC842 except that the
ADuC843 has no analog DAC outputs.
The microcontroller is an optimized 8052 core offering up to
20 MIPS peak performance. Three different memory options
are available offering up to 62 kBytes of nonvolatile Flash/EE
program memory. Four kBytes of nonvolatile Flash/EE data
memory, 256 bytes RAM, and 2 kBytes of extended RAM are
also integrated on-chip.
APPLICATIONS
Optical networking—laser power control
Base station systems
Precision instrumentation, smart sensors
Transient capture systems
