The 408 family is the one-time programmable (OTP) series of STMicroelectronics' series of ST5 register file-based 8-bit ICUs (intelligent controller units). The core uses a hardware multiplier and divider that allows complex calculations at high-speed and optimised code size. The product also features a Decision Processor for realtime system control and enhanced signal conditioning.
The 408's on-chip triac-timer/PWM peripherals allow power device and timing signal management for motor control, thermal and lighting applications. A flexible I/O configuration and an A/D converter are available for interfacing with a wide range of external devices. A powerful development environment (Visual FIVE IDE), with an advanced graphical interface, allows fast and easy project development.
Key benefits: multiplication and division via single hardware instruction; dedicated architecture for expert algorithms to increase performance cost-effectively with Decision Processor; memory read out protection; low-cost 8-bit microcontroller solution eliminates need for external power device drivers; reset circuit; analog comparator and A/D converter.
