Introduction

The IN16C01 is a CMOS single-chip 16-bit microcontroller.

The IN16C01 is a general purpose microcomputer and can be used in control systems, data acquisition systems and DSP systems. Low-power and fully static operation allow to use the microcontroller in self-contained systems with limited power consumption.

On the base of its capabilities the IN16C01 could be compared with the next general-purpose microcontrollers: Intel’s 80С196 and 80C186, Motorola’s 68300 and 68НС16, Siemens’ SAB 80C16x. The IN16C01 has an array multiplier and dedicated hardware for DSP operations support, which allows to compare the microcontroller with the next DSP: Texas Instruments’ TMS320C25, Motorola’s DSP561хх, Analog Devices’ ADSP21xx.

The IN16C01 implements the modular architecture when there is a common internal bus to which all other units are connected. The architecture allows to ‘tailor’ the microcontroller to an appropriate customer’s application. The basic set of the microcontroller units includes:

• Microprocessor

• RAM

• ROM

• Timers

• UART

• Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)

• Bi-directional Parallel Ports
