AP-445 8XC196KR Peripherals: A User's Point of View
High Speed Event control is a common occurrence in todays control applications. Also mixing analog and digital control in the same application is becoming a necessity. In 1982 Intel introduced the first member of the 16-bit microcontroller family (MCS® 96): the 8096 device. This family has grown from that first introduction to todays 4th generation of highly integrated, 1 micron CHMOS technology members. The 8XC196KR, 8XC196KQ, 8XC196JR, and 8XC196JQ. (Known hereafter as 8XC196KR).
These devices combine high speed 16- and 32-bit precision calculation capability (100% instruction set compatible with the MCS® 96 product family) with a dedicated I/O subsystem that has no equal. Figure 1-1 illustrates the complete functional blocks that make up the 8XC196KR devices. This Ap-note will briefly describe the 8XC196KR CPU and peripherals with example applications for each.
