#167915 - AT89S8253 Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Dear Joop,
I have not read all the thread, but reading that you plan to use an AT89S8253 in a security system, I would like to warn you about a couple of thing my own experience taught me: - Use a supervisor chip for reset AND be sure that rise time of Vcc is less than 1 or 2 ms, because the internal EEPROM control logic does not reset from pin 9 (read carefully RESET section of data sheet)but from an internal signal. - Be sure that Vcc is clean of spikes, etc. Deppending of hw needs, I would use some Dallas, for example DS89C420/450, easier for programming, faster, more code memory, etc. But no EEPROM (they use flash), and it could be a problem if you plan to store data in EEPROM (writing only few bytes, without erasing a complete bank).
