The 8XC196KB 16-bit microcontroller comes with 8 Kbytes of on-chip mask programmable ROM or in ROMless versions All devices are high performance members of the 8096 microcontroller family The 8XC196KB is pin-to-pin compatible and uses a true superset of the 8096 instructions Intel's CHMOS process provides a high performance processor along with low power consumption To further reduce power requirements the processor can be placed into Idle or Powerdown Mode Bit byte word and some 32-bit operations are available on the 8XC196KB With a 16 MHz oscillator a 16-bit addition takes 0 495 ms and the instruction times average 0 375 ms to 1 125 ms in typical applications Four high-speed capture inputs are provided to record times when events occur 4 a 2 high-speed outputs are available for pulse or waveform generation The high-speed output can also generate four software timers or start an A D conversion Events can be based on the 16-bit timer or a 16-bit up down counter Also provided on-chip are an 8 channel 10-bit A D converter with Sample and Hold a serial port with synchronous asynchronous modes and on-chip baud rate generator a 16-bit watchdog timer pulse width modulated output with prescaler and an on-chip clock failure detect circuitry
