The M16C/63 Group microcomputer (MCU) incorporates the M16C/60 Series CPU core and flash memory, employing sophisticated instructions for a high level of efficiency. This MCU has 1 MB of address space (expandable to 4 MB), and it is capable of executing instructions at high speed. In addition, the CPU core boasts a multiplier for high-speed operation processing. This MCU consumes low power, and supports operating modes that allow additional power control. The MCU also uses an anti-noise configuration to reduce emissions of electromagnetic noise and is designed to withstand electromagnetic interference (EMI). By integrating many of the peripheral functions, including the multifunction timer and serial interface, the number of system components has been reduced.
