Atmel Develops the First CAN DeviceNet Compliant Flash Microcontroller; Atmel Creates Ability to do Full In-System Programming Over a CAN Bus Based On Leading Flash Technology.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 24, 2000 Atmel Corporation (Nasdaq:ATML ATML Automatic Test Markup Language ATML Automated Test Markup Language ) announced the expansion of microcontroller products compliant with the DeviceNet standard, IEC-62026 Part 3. Rockwell Automation Rockwell Automation NYSE: ROK is an industrial automation company. Its products include Allen-Bradley controls and engineered services and Rockwell Software factory management software. The company headquarters are located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. providing protocol stack support and system validation for the newly introduced microcontroller products and Atmel provides a compliant CAN2.0B controller (T89C51CC01) including FLASH and EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM) A rewritable memory chip that holds its content without power. Although EEPROMs spawned flash memory, EEPROMs are byte addressable at the write level, whereas flash chips must erase a block of bytes before rewriting. . The semiconductor technology used by Atmel offers the key advantage of in-system programming directly from the DeviceNet bus. This technology will produce significant benefits for the industrial automation market place by furthering the acceptance of IEC-62026 Part 3. "We found the new Atmel CAN microcontroller to be an effective foundation for the next generation of DeviceNet products," said Elik Fooks, Vice President and General Manager of the Presence Sensing Business Unit of Rockwell Automation. He added, "It allows Rockwell Automation to further address the growing demand of the controls industry for increased functionality in more compact products. The advances will allow us to continue to develop and provide world class solutions for our customers." "Rockwell Automation with its expertise on DeviceNet standard, is a perfect lead customer to launch our CAN based microcontrollers family," commented Fred Chevreton, Vice President and General Manager of Microcontrollers and Digital Products Group at Atmel Wireless & Microcontrollers. "Working together with Rockwell Automation allows us to leverage our strengths in offering low cost solutions combining Flash memory and high complexity digital and analog functions." More about T89C51CC01 Microcontroller The T89C51CC01 is fully compatible to the ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. specifications 11898 (2.0A & 2.0B) for high speed and 11519-2 for low speed serial data bus transmission. Its outstanding on-chip Flash program memory of 32-Kbyte and the separate 2-Kbyte Flash boot memory, together with its In-System-Programming (ISP (1) See in-system programmable. (2) (Internet Service Provider) An organization that provides access to the Internet. Connection to the user is provided via dial-up, ISDN, cable, DSL and T1/T3 lines. ) via CAN bus or UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) The electronic circuit that makes up the serial port. Also known as "universal serial asynchronous receiver transmitter" (USART), it converts parallel bytes from the CPU into serial bits for transmission, and vice , give this product all the advantages needed to develop any application where product flexibility, programming security, short time-to-market and low costs are required. Existing CAN network with 2.0A and 2.0B nodes are supported by the T89C51CC01 as all channels may be used in one of these two modes. This product handles 15 CAN channels (message objects) that are programmable for reception, transmission or receive buffer (maximum 120 Bytes). Extensive masking, filtering and buffering of CAN frames reduces the host processor load. A dual data pointer, 2-Kbyte user data EEPROM, 10-bit Analog to Digital Converter (ADC (1) See A/D converter. (2) (Apple Display Connector) A peripheral connector from Apple that combines digital video display, USB and power in one cable. ) and 1.2-Kbyte RAM Memory complete the enhanced 80C51 architecture of the T89C51CC01. A full set of support tools is also available. This package includes hardware emulator and software compiler/simulator, starter kit, Boot Loader, Application Protocol Interfaces (API) and Flash loader software. The T89C51CC01 is available in industrial temperature range and is housed in TQFP See QFP. 44 or CA-BGA64 package. Samples are available now. Typical price is $4.80 each in 100K pieces quantity.
