The flash-4-bit microcontroller comes in a 8-pin SO housing and works on a computing power of 0.4 MIPS. The EM6580 is designed for use in battery-operated and field-powered applications requiring an extended lifetime. The high integration level makes it the ideal choice for cost sensitive devices. Furthermore, the EM6580 obtains a Power-On-Reset, a Watchdog Timer, different clock functions and a 10 bit up/ down counter.
Performance-efficient Power Supply
The EM6580 can be powered up with only one external source. The power supply is built on an energy saving architecture which includes an internal voltage regulator. The microcontroller requires 5.8 µA in active mode and merely 0.32 µA in sleep mode.
RC Oscilliator or external clock
Both internal RC Oscilliator and external clock can be used for operation. The already integrated RC Oscilliator generates the system operating clock for CPU and peripheral blocks without needing an external component. The oscilliator frequency can be selected from five possibilities (32kHz, 64kHz, 128kHz, 256kHz or 500kHz) via a register with two basic frequencies.
