Technical Specifications

The TSC80C31-16CA operates on a supply voltage of 5V and has a clock frequency of 16 MHz. It supports up to 64KB of external program memory. The microcontroller features two 16-bit timer/counters, which can be used for timing, counting, and generating PWM signals. It includes four 8-bit I/O ports that can be configured for input or output. The full-duplex UART supports asynchronous serial communication, allowing the microcontroller to communicate with other devices. The device offers six interrupt sources, which can be prioritized to handle various events. The power-saving modes (Idle and Power-down) reduce power consumption when the microcontroller is not actively processing data. The device is available in a DIP (Dual In-line Package) or PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) package.
