F-RAM qualifies for automotive duties
The FM24CL64 is a popular choice for automotive radio applications with its fast writes and high endurance.
The UniVersaKit is a complete and comprehensive evaluation platform for Versa mixed-signal and low cost Flash 8051-based MCU families.
The UVK integrates the required support circuitry to minimise startup time, accelerate system prototyping and shorten time to market: The board includes voltage regulators (3.3 and 5V), an RS232 transceiver, DB9 connectors, tact switches for manual reset/interrupt triggering, user LEDs, a serial two-wire FRAM, piezo buzzer and driver circuitry, chip peripherals and I/Os that are easily accessible through probe vias and header footprints, character LCD expansion capabilities and ample prototyping space.
The UniVersaKit development system ships complete with a development board that supports all Versa product families and Versa-ICP (in-circuit programmer) for programming and in-circuit debugging of Versa Mix 8051 MCUs (VMX51C1020/16) which can also be used for in-system programming in end product production.
A Ramtron VMX51C1020 device is soldered onto the development board with a VMX1016 available on request and a sample of the Versa 8051 VRS51C1000-40-L-ISPVx is also supplied.
There is also a CD-ROM containing user guides, Versa Ware programming software and IDE/compiler/assembler as well as a serial cable and power supply.
