The MSC1200 family offers two Flash memory sizes with pin and function compatibility, thus allowing the customer to freely migrate between devices as their code requirements change.
The noise performance of the ADC is 75nV, better than most stand-alone ADCs on the market and significantly better than any comparable mixed-signal device.
The ADC also has a 1Ksample/s sampling rate with only 3mW of power consumption.
The analogue features consist of a 24bit delta-sigma ADC, a flexible eight-channel multiplexer, internal oscillator, PLL, burnout detect, selectable buffered input, offset DAC, programmable gains of up to 128, selectable data output rate, programmable single-cycle settling filter, precision on-chip voltage reference or external differential voltage reference, on-chip temperature sensor, on-chip calibration, low voltage detect and brownout reset.
The digital features include an enhanced 8051 microcontroller core with dual data pointers, two Flash memory options (4 or 8Kbyte), 128byte of SRAM, four I/O ports, a 32bit accumulator/shifter, UART, two timers/counters, basic I2C interface, basic SPI interface and a watchdog timer.
The MSC1200 is packaged in a TQFP-48 and operates on a single 2.7 to 5.25V supply.
1000-piece pricing is $5.95 or $6.45, respectively, with 4 or 8Kbyte of Flash.
