Introduction to TSC87C51/C52 OTP Microcontrollers
Introduction
The Microcontroller market is moving very fast, surprisingly the OTP market is even faster due to the following reasons:
D
Time to market for new systems is the key answer to be on the leading edge and to continue to grow.
D
Late orders coming from end customers or need for customized versions to better serve the market.
That’s why the OTP market represents already more than 15% of the total volume.
Now TEMIC introduces brand new products –completing its existing offering– to better serve your needs. You can have
access to the TSC87C51 and TSC87C52 One–Time–Programmable C51 microcontrollers and speed up your market
penetration while preserving a low system cost.
These products have been qualified in order to be compatible with the Industry standard from Intel as TEMIC is one of
the three major Intel licensed manufacturer.
TEMIC will continue to expand its global offering with also the compatible Mask ROM products which are still being
supported with new improvements. These product always guarantee full compatibility with C51 Intel architecture.
Therefore, it is easy qualify TEMIC products in your existing or new applications.
Thank you to get access to the TEMIC C51 OTP family through all the documentation and support like this design guide
which is providing all the information on the products the way to implement them in the application and how to program
them.
TEMIC Microcontrollers Overview
In the 8–bit microcontroller market, the 80C51 architecture has become an industry standard in embedded applications.
Introduced in the early’s 1980’s by TEMIC/Matra MHS under Intel License, the 80C51 is still a market leader.
For over 15 years, TEMIC has been a leading provider of 80C51 microcontrollers to major embedded markets. Today,
TEMIC is ranked number 3 in worldwide sales of 80C51 devices, representing over 20% market share. This unsurpassed
experience is at the service of TEMIC customers in every application.
TEMIC now enlarges its product range by adding one time programmable (OTP) versions of standard products and the
highly increased number of product derivatives for applications mainly targeted in the Communication and Computer
area.
Also the market is in need for a more powerful solution to meet the requirements of increasingly sophisticated embedded
applications. High growth markets, including applications in communication, automotive and personal computing are
driving these requirements. Therefore TEMIC has introduced in 1996 the first two products of the Intel–licensed
TSC80251 8–bit extended architecture.
