SAF-C165UTAH-LF V1.3

The SAF-C165UTAH-LF V1.3 falls in the embedded - microcontrollers category due to its strong focus on the incorporation of a wide range of features into the C165UTAH processor. This embedded controller is designed for a variety of applications, as it can be used for high-throughput control processes, scheduling, embedded imaging, and digital signal processing. It also has other potentially useful features, such as analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), Pulse-width Modulation (PWM), and peripheral bus access, and integrated peripherals such as an input/output controller, an analog comparator, and a timer counter.

The microcontroller works on an 8-bit bulk architecture and has a wide range of features. It supports a 128-byte on-chip non-volatile EEPROM, 32KB of internal flash memory, and extended memory up to 32KB of static RAM. This memory is accompanied by several peripheral serial interfaces, such as SPI, UART, and LIN, as well as three independent channels for 10-bit analog-to-digital conversion. It also provides facile access to up to 31 general-purpose I/O lines, 4 IO registers, and 7 interrupt sources, allowing quick access to both the internal and external peripherals. A dedicated on-chip debug system ensures that design enhancements and flashing of the embedded code is made easy and simple.

One of the main advantages of using this microcontroller model is its wide range of support for various external applications and communications protocols. Its support for LIN, SPI, and UART communications protocols allow for exchange of data with other external microcontrollers, sensors, and embedded systems. It features a configurable on-chip USART, with support for a variety of serial connections, including RS232, IrDA, and Manchester code. The built-in SPI controller enables the chip to carry out high-speed data transfers between external master and slave devices. In addition to these communication protocols, the device also provides support for several popular embedded systems, such as the ARM Cortex-M family.

The SAF-C165UTAH-LF V1.3 also incorporates some hardware and software enhancements that offer improved performance. This includes the incorporation of VHFT-LEON, a set of embedded software libraries that provide access to the LEON core, as well as an ATMEL AVRisp programming utility and an on-chip debugger. This allows users to quickly identify any code-related issues and design improvements. Furthermore, the device includes a new configurable watchdog timer, auto-scalable digital motor control timer, and an on-chip 8-bit address generator, which can all be used to improve system performance.

The SAF-C165UTAH-LF V1.3 also features enhanced support for analog-to-digital conversion and pulse width modulation. The 10-bit analog-to-digital converter feature enables the microcontroller to accurately measure inputs from various analog sources before transmitting the data to other parts of the system. The Pulse-width modulation feature allows the microcontroller to provide a stable output by quickly modulating the output voltage of a digital signal. This feature is useful in applications such as LED control, motor speed control, and many other types of precision control applications.

Overall, the SAF-C165UTAH-LF V1.3 offers great potential for use in a variety of application fields. This device is well suited for processes such as high-throughput control, scheduling, embedded imaging, and digital signal processing, as well as any application that could benefit from its communication and hardware features. Thanks to its powerful on-board debugging system, it can also be easily used to design, debug, and flash embedded codes.
