INTRODUCTION

The ST72T121 HCMOS Microcontroller Unit (MCU) is a member of the ST7 family. The device is based on an industry-standard 8-bit core and features an enhanced instruction set. The device is normally operated at a 16 MHz oscillator frequency. Under software control, the ST72T121 may be placed in either Wait, Slow or Halt modes, thus reducing power consumption. The enhanced instruction set and addressing modes afford real programming potential. In addition to standard 8-bit data management, the ST72T121 features true bit manipulation, 8x8 unsigned multiplication and indirect addressing modes on the whole memory. The device includes a low consumption and fast start on-chip oscillator, CPU, program memory (OTP/EPROM versions), RAM, 32 I/O lines, a Low Voltage Detector (LVD) and the following onchip peripherals: industry standard synchronous SPI and asynchronous SCI serial interfaces, digital Watchdog, two independent 16-bit Timers, one featuring an External Clock Input, and both featuring Pulse Generator capabilities, 2 Input Captures and 2 Output Compares (only 1 Input Capture and 1 Output Compare on Timer A).
