A Look at the M16C Lineup

M16C/60 & M16C/80

The M16C/60 series is based on a 1-MB memory space and high pin count packaging. Standard on-chip peripherals include 16-bit multifunction timers, twin DMACs, UART/SSI, 10-bit A/D conversion, 8-bit D/A conversion, an input capture timer, CRC calculation circuitry, a watchdog timer, and other system protection circuits.

Table 1 shows the specific features for the M16C/62P (group 62P) of this series. The operating voltage for the M16C/60 series is 3 to 5.5 V at up to 24 MHz. These devices can also operate down to 2.7 V with a slightly reduced maximum speed of 10 MHz.

The M16C/80 series is based on a 16-MB memory space and high pin count packaging. Standard on-chip peripherals include 16-bit multifunction timers, twin DMACs, UART/SSI, 10-bit A/D conversion, 8-bit D/A conversion, an input capture timer, CRC calculation circuitry, a watchdog timer, and other system protection circuits. Table 1 shows key features of the M16C/80 series (Group 80). The operating voltage for the M16C/80 series of parts is 3 to 5.5 V at up to 24 MHz. These devices can also operate down to 2.7 V with a slightly reduced maximum speed of 10 MHz.
