Atmel Extends Its Popular 8O51 Flash Microcontroller Family With a New 128-Kbyte Device

NANTES, France, Nov. 27 -- Atmel® Corporation (NASDAQ:ATML) announced today the AT89C51RE2, a new 8O51-based microcontroller with 128 Kbytes of Flash program memory.

The device is an addition to the existing 16-, 32-, and 64-Kbyte 8O51 Flash family of AT89C51RB2/RC2/RD2/ED2 microcontrollers which have become an industry standard.

The AT89C51RE2 comes with a rich feature set including 8-Kbytes of RAM, two UARTs, watchdog timer, power-on-reset, power-fail detector, PCA, SPI and on-chip debug, and up to fifty general-purpose I/Os for application use. The device is ideally suited for industrial and consumer applications such as I/O management, power management, industrial and motor control, smart sensors and set-top boxes. The AT89C51RE2 can operate from 2.7 to 5.5 volts and from 2 to 40 MHz and achieves a 4 MIPS throughput when running at 40 MHz.

A key new feature is the on chip debug (OCD) capability that enables low cost emulation. The hardware debug system with Windows® IDE interface allows the user to access debugging functions built into the AT89C51RE2 resulting in faster development and verification of user code in real-time.

Pricing and Availability

The AT89C51RE2 is available in 44-pin PLCC and VQFP packages at USD $4.80 for 10k units. Atmel offers the AT89STK-11, a starter kit for USD $99, to evaluate the AT89C51RE2; designers can either run the demonstration program or their own application. A new low-cost on chip debug tool, AT89OCD-01 will be available by the end of November 2006.
