- Package Name: P-MQFP
About C500 family microcontrollers
The members of the C500 Infineon Technologies microcontroller family are basically fully compatible in architecture and software with the standard 8051 microcontroller family. Especially, they are functionally upward-compatible to the SAB 80C52/80C32 microcontroller. While maintaining all architectural and operational characteristics of the SAB 80C52/80C32, the C500 microcontrollers differ in the number and the complexity of their peripheral units which have been adapted to the specific application areas.
System benefits of C500 family
- Fast power-on reset
- Power saving modes
- Power-up from power-down via external interrupt or incoming CAN message possible
- Enhanced fail-safe mechanisms with programmable 15-bit watchdog timer and oscillator watchdog
