80C51-based microcontroller with ADC
21 November 2001
Electronics Technology
The 87LPC767 is a highly integrated single-chip microcontroller designed for low system cost applications. As a member of Philips Semiconductors' 51LPC microcontroller family, the 87LPC767 offers an 8 bit ADC with four multiplexed channels and two analog comparators with dual multiplexed inputs and on-chip reference. In addition, the device provides 4K of OTP code memory and 128 bytes of data SRAM, making it suitable for high-level programming. The code memory is in-system programmable (ISP) through a serial interface. Other embedded features which reduce the need for external components, are brownout detection and an on-chip RC oscillator that is very stable over temperature and voltage.
The MCU core is fully compatible with the industry-standard C51 core, but features a 2X speed mode, where the CPU clock is divided by 6 instead of 12. At 20 MHz, the 51LPC family devices provide a throughput identical to that of a conventional C51 running at 40 MHz, thus minimising EMI and power consumption. At 32 kHz, the device consumes only 16 µA and the operating voltage ranges from 2,7-6,0 V (3,0-6,0 V for analog peripherals).
The device comes with extensive serial communication capabilities such as RS232, RS485 and I2C interface. This interfaced in combination with the analog capabilities of the chip make it ideal for a variety of applications which include sensors.
