A member of the Intel family of 8-bit MCS 251 microcontrollers, the 8XC251SA/SB/SP/SQ is binary-code
compatible with MCS 51 microcontrollers and pin compatible with 40-pin PDIP and 44-pin PLCC MCS 51
microcontrollers. MCS 251 microcontrollers feature an enriched instruction set, linear addressing, and
efficient C-language support. The 8XC251SA/SB/SP/SQ has 512 bytes or 1 Kbyte of on-chip RAM and is
available with 8 Kbytes or 16 Kbytes of on-chip ROM/OTPROM/EPROM, or without ROM/OTPROM/EPROM.
A variety of features can be selected by new user-programmable configurations.
