STC Micro Release Cost-Effective High Performance 1T 8051 Microcontroller

BEIJING, CHINA, February 23, 2011 /HiTech PR News/ -- STC12C5A60S2 is a single-chip microcontroller based on a high-performance 1T architecture 80C51 CPU which is designed by STC Micro Ltd. With the enhanced kernel, STC12C5A60S2 executes instructions in 1 to 6 clock cycles (about 6-8 times of the rate of a conventional 8051 device), and has a fully compatible instruction set with industrial standard 80C51 series microcontrollers. In-System-Programming (ISP) and In-Application-Programming (IAP) enables the users to upgrade the program by a programmer or by the firmware itself. The STC12C5A60S2 regains all features of standard 80C51. In addition, the STC12C5A60S2 has 2 extra I/O ports (P4 and P5), a 10-sources, 4 priority-level interrupt structure, 10-bit AD, 2-3 UARTs, SPI(Slave/Master), on-chip oscillator, 2-channel PCA/PWM/DAC, a one-time enabled WDT.

The STC12C5A60S2 operate at 3.5-5.5V, while the low voltage version operate at 2.1-3.6V. The max working frequency is 35MHz. It has 60KB flash memory, 1280 Bytes data RAM, 1024 Bytes EEPROM. The number of I/O pins is up to 44 (LQFP-48). There are DIP-40, PLCC-44, LQFP-44, LQFP-48 and QFN-40 packages for STC12C5A60S2.

With advanced technology the STC12C5A60S2 is highly noise immunity, has very low power consumption, highly EDS protecting and ultra code safety.

STC series enhanced 8051 microcontroller was designed by STC Micro of China and manufactured by the world's largest dedicated semiconductor foundry-TSMC. Now STC becomes the largest 8051 based microcontroller family in the world. Thanks to the China's huge market, the annually selling quantity of STC microcontroller is incredibly huge thus makes them the most cost effective products in industry.

The STC12C5A60S2 could be order online now at unit price of $1.5 (@1K+). Now STC is offering free USB ISP tool for new customers.
