COP912C
8-Bit Microcontroller
Family features include an 8-bit memory mapped architec-
ture, 10MHz CKI with 2.5us(912C) or 2us(912CH) instruction
cycle, one multi-function 16-bit timer/counter with PWM,
MICROWIRE/PLUS(tm) serial I/O, power saving HALT
mode, three clock modes, high current outputs, software se-
lectable I/O options, multi-volt operation and 20 pin pack-
ages.
General Description
Note: COP8SA devices are instruction set and pinout com-
patible supersets of the COP912C devices, and are replace-
ments for these in new designs when possible.
The COP912C ROM based microcontrollers are integrated
COP8(tm) Base core devices with smaller memory (768
bytes), and fewer on-board features. These single-chip
CMOS devices are suited for lower-functionality applications
where system cost is of prime consideration. Pin and soft-
ware compatible (different Vcc range) 4k/32k OTP versions
are available (COP87LxxCJ/RJ Family). Erasable windowed
versions are available for use with a range of COP8(tm) soft-
ware and hardware development tools.
