SBC Module Description

The phyCORE-89C668 supports a variety of new NXP Semiconductors (founded by Philips) 44-pin 80C51-compatible microcontrollers featuring on-chip Flash with In-System Programming (ISP) capability. In contrast to microcontrollers offering on-chip OTP, on-chip Flash enables flexible on-board reprogramming during development, as well as upgrading via RS-232 of user code stored in hardware that is already implemented in the field. Other controller features include four 8-bit I/O ports; three 16-bit timer/event counters; a multi-source, four-priority-level nested interrupt structure; an enhanced UART and on-chip oscillator and timing circuits. The board's standard memory configuration features 32 KB external SRAM and 64 KB on-chip Flash for storage of user code. PHYTEC FlashTools support in-system (ISP) programming. All applicable controller and logic signals extend to standard-width (2.54 mm.) multi-rowed pin headers located on two sides of the board, allowing it to be plugged like a "big chip" into target hardware applications. Three free Chip-Select signals enable connectivity to external peripherals. The module communicates by means of an RS-232 interface (optionally configurable as RS-485), operates within a standard temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees C. and requires a low 5 V. power source.
