16-bit metering MCU with integrated sigma-delta and LCD drive
It packs 256KB of Flash program memory and 32K x 8 of RAM, with a rich set of integrated peripherals including six 24-bit sigma-delta analog-to-digital converters and a direct LCD driver.
What the 24-bit sigma-delta converter means for the BOM
Six independent 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs on-chip eliminate the need for external analog front-ends in multi-channel sensing applications. For a three-phase energy meter, each phase plus neutral can have a dedicated converter channel, keeping the bill of materials compact and the measurement path tightly matched. The 90 I/O lines and connectivity set (I²C, SPI, UART/USART, LIN, IrDA) handle communication with external meters, modems, or data concentrators without a separate interface MCU.
Obsolete — sourcing path for production and repair
For existing designs that require this exact MCU, procurement will need to rely on independent distribution and surplus inventory channels.
Housed in a 128-LQFP package with a 20x14 mm body, this is a surface-mount device intended for standard reflow assembly. The 0.4 mm pitch requires careful PCB layout and solder paste control.
