#98106 - DS89C450 is fast 8051. Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Hello Henry,
Check out these MCU's from Dallas semiconductor. Now a part of Maxim IC (http://www.maxim-ic.com). You can get free samples in 40 pin dip's. Below is some information available for this chip. It really is a super duper 8051. Regards, Charles Bannister DS89C430/DS89C440/DS89C450 Ultra-High-Speed Flash Microcontrollers =========================================== GENERAL DESCRIPTION The DS89C430, DS89C440, and DS89C450 offer the highest performance available in 8051-compatible microcontrollers. They feature newly designed processor cores that execute instructions up to 12 times faster than the original 8051 at the same crystal speed. Typical applications will experience a speed improvement up to 10x. At 1 million instructions per second (MIPS) per megahertz, the microcontrollers achieve 33 MIPS performance from a maximum 33MHz clock rate. ============================================== Don't know how to program it check out this application note. App Note 3477: Using the Free SDCC C Compiler to Develop Firmware for the DS89C420/430/440/450 Family of Microcontrollers ============================================== Here is some software which runs on a IBM pc which can program the MCU Microcontroller Tool Kit (MTK) from Dallas Semiconductor http://www.maxim-ic.com/products/.../index.cfm Link to FTP archive (370K) Microcontroller Tool Kit Microcontroller Tool Kit (MTK) is a PC-based application in the programming and debugging of microcontrollers manufactured by Dallas Semiconductor. This software requires Windows 95 or more recent operating system, and an open COM port. It allows an embedded system designer to program and configure Dallas Semiconductor microcontrollers equipped with a ROM/bootstrap loader ftp://ftp.dalsemi.com/pub/microcontroller/dev_tool_software/mtk/ ============================================== I built this programmer using chips I had on hand http://members.aol.com/cpu8052/DS89CxxxPGM.GIF Here is another schematic of programmer. http://members.aol.com/cpu8052/ds88c450.gif |
