MB96F683ABPMC-GSE1

The MB96F683ABPMC microcontroller is an advanced 8-bit microcontroller and belongs to the family of R8C/Tiny microcontrollers. It is designed mainly to work in applications where a low power consumption is essential and where the processing of analog and digital signals must be accomplished at the same time. The new ‘80 Series’ microcontroller was announced in 2007 and has some very interesting features and characteristics.

The MB96F683ABPMC was mainly created for applications that require extensive processing of digital and analog signals, like industrial control and automation, home audio and medical devices. It is powered by a 9.4MHz or 6MHz folding clock frequency and it has an onboard internal oscillator. This oscillator can be programmed for various frequency settings and it has a spread spectrum included for noise reduction purposes.

The MB96F683ABPMC offers a maximum of 64KBytes eraseable and programmable nonvolatile memory with two memory areas; program memory and data memory. It also includes an analog-to-digital converter, with 8-bit resolution, a watchdog timer, three serial communication channels and more features.

The MB96F683ABPMC offers a complete package of analog and digital signals on the same integrated circuit. It also has an eight-bit A/D converter, three serial communication channels and a variety of modules like Timers and Input Capture/Output Compare. Its main features are:

• High performance RISC CPU with three built-in interrupt sources
• Advanced 8-bit microcontroller with up to 64kBytes of eraseable and programmable nonvolatile memory
• Powerful internal oscillator with programmable frequencies
• Internal analog-to-digital converter with 8-bit resolution
• 3 channel serial communication interfaces
• Built-in analog and digital signal interface modules
• High level of integration of both analog and digital technologies for better performance and reliability

The working principle of the MB96F683ABPMC microcontroller is based on the usual structure found in many other modern microcontrollers. The main components are a central processing unit, program memory and data memory, and peripheral modules. The CPU executes the program instructions and the peripheral modules control the analog and digital signals.

The program instructions are stored in the program memory. This memory is nonvolatile, so all the program instructions are not lost if the power of the microcontroller is cut off. The data memory is used for storing variables and counters that are used in the program instructions. The on-chip peripheral modules can be found in the embedding block. They are specially designed modules to manage the analog and digital signals present in the microcontroller.

The interface between the CPU and the peripheral modules is based on the bus architecture. The bus consists in four different busses: address bus, data bus, control bus and signal bus. The address bus is used to communicate the address of the peripherals to the CPU. The data bus is used to communicate the data and the control bits between the peripherals and the CPU. The control bus is designed to select one specific peripheral and initiate operations on it. Finally, the signal bus is used to display the various signal lines between the peripherals and the CPU.

In conclusion, the MB96F683ABPMC is a high performance 8-bit microcontroller that offers enhanced performance and reliable operation for various applications. Its advanced features and capabilities make it the perfect choice for industrial control and automation, home audio and medical devices. Its on-board analog-to-digital converter and wide range of on-chip peripherals make it ideal for complex processing requirements. The bus architecture and its low power consumption make it even more attractive for these application areas.
