GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Introduction

ST52x400/440/441 are 8-bit Intelligent Control Units (ICU) of the ST Five Family, which are able to perform both boolean and fuzzy algorithms in an efficient manner, in order to reach the best performances that the two methodologies allow.

ST52x400/440/441 is produced by STMicroelectronics using the reliable high performance CMOS process, including integrated-on-chip peripherals that allow maximization of system reliability, decreasing system costs and minimizing the number of external components.

The flexible I/O configuration of ST52x400/440/441 allows for an interface with a wide range of external devices, like D/A converters or power control devices.

ST52x400/440/441 pins are configurable, allowing the user to set the input or output signals on each single pin.
