Atmel Introduces 8051 Microcontrollers For High Volume USB Applications

Beijing (ots/PRNewswire) -

Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML), announced today the addition
of three ROM devices to its family of standard 8051-based USB
microcontrollers. Complementing the available Flash versions, the new
devices are especially suited for high-volume applications where cost
matters more than flexibility and where the code is stable.

Based on Atmel's 8051 X2 core which executes an instruction in 6
clock periods, the new AT83C5134, AT83C5135 and AT83C5136 have 8-,
16- and 32-Kbytes of ROM code memory, respectively. In addition, two
variants of the 32-Kbytes version are available: AT83EC5136 and
AT83EI5136 which include 512 bytes and 32 Kbytes, respectively, of
EEPROM for data storage. The products feature a USB Full-Speed
controller, UART, SPI and a two wire Interface allowing an easy
connection to companion devices.

The existing AT89C5130 and AT89C5131 devices, with 16- and
32-Kbyte Flash, can be used for development, flexibility and
pre-production as pin-to-pin and binary compatibility are preserved
when migrating to the new ROM devices. These devices are available
with 3.3V supply voltage and support six programmable USB endpoints.

Offered in a 32-pin 5x5mm and a 48-pin 7x7mm QFN packages, the new
ROM devices provide a broad range of memory sizes for the lowest cost
and the smallest physical dimensions.

"We wanted to add USB connectivity to our new range of modular
drive controllers so our customers can easily configure," said
Michael Jensen, Purchasing Manager Electronics at Danfoss Drives A/S.
"Our products must provide long lasting quality in harsh industrial
environments and Atmel's 8051 USB microcontrollers solutions meet all
our needs at the right cost."

Pricing and Availability

The AT83C5134, AT83C5135 and AT83C5136 are available now in 32-pin
QFN packages. Pricing starts at US$1.30, US$1.40 and US$1.55 for 10k
units. The AT83C5136 is also available in a 28-pin SOIC package,
48-pin QFN package and a 64-pin VQFP package.
