Infineon has developed a low-cost evaluation kit for its XC800 8-bit embedded-flash microcontroller (MCU) family. The new XC800 USCALE kit is contained in a USB (universal serial bus) stick that provides full evaluation capabilities for the XC866, XC886 and XC888 MCUs on a single platform.
The USCALE kit offers access to the key features - such as CAN (controller area network), A/D converter, capture compare unit, timers and vector computer for field oriented control - and to the hardware signals of each of the three MCUs for extensive benchmarking and evaluation. It ensures quick installation and ease-of-use thanks to its development tool chains, demos and tutorials.
Infineon's high-performance XC800 series of MCUs combine an enhanced 8051 core with embedded flash memory and powerful on-chip peripherals. The three MCUs supported in the USCALE kit are well-suited for a wide range of applications, including motor control, automotive body and white goods, and are adding networking functionality to industrial and building automation systems.
Performance and cost-saving features of the XC866 series include a 26,67 MHz system frequency, 4 KB to 16 KB flash memory, an on-chip oscillator and PLL for clock generation, an embedded voltage regulator supporting single voltage supply of 3,3 V or 5,0 V, and EEPROM support. The PWM unit offers advanced features including integrated dead-time control, emergency-OFF control, direct Hall-sensor inputs and a tight coupling with the ADC for automatic triggering. The 10-bit ADC with a conversion time of only 1,5 μs offers features like auto-scan and comparator modes. The XC866 also offers a set of communication interfaces including LIN, SSC and UART. The XC866 is available in a RoHS compatible TSSOP-38 package with a temperature range of up to 140°C to offer 27 general purpose I/Os with a footprint of 9,7 mm x 4,4 mm.
