Adding to the Versa 8051 family, the VRS51L3072 debuts as an 8051-based microcontroller with 2 KB of nonvolatile FRAM memory. The device's core controls peripherals and gathers data, while its onboard digital signal processing functions process the data, which is then stored in F-RAM. Other features include an advanced 40-MIPS, single-cycle 8051-core, 64 KB of flash memory with in-system/in-application programming, 4 KB of SRAM, DSP extensions, and a robust digital peripheral set. Additionally, the VRS51L3072 operates at 3.3V over an industrial temperature range. Engineering samples are available now in a RoHS-compliant 64-QFN. Pricing starts at $4.50 each/10,000.
