Infineon Technologies AG has announced a very-low-cost evaluation kit for the company's XC800 8-bit embedded-flash microcontroller (MCU) family. The new XC800 USCALE kit is contained in a USB (Universal Serial Bus) stick that provides full evaluation capabilities for the XC866, XC886 and XC888 MCUs on a single platform.
The USCALE kit offers access to the key features - such as CAN (Controller Area Network), A/D converter, capture compare unit, timers and vector computer for field oriented control - and to the hardware signals of each of the three MCUs for extensive benchmarking and evaluation. It ensures quick installation and ease-of-use due to its development tool chains, demos and tutorials.
Infineon's high-performance XC800 series of MCUs combine an enhanced 8051 core with embedded flash memory and powerful on-chip peripherals. The three MCUs supported in the USCALE kit are well-suited for a wide range of different applications, including motor control, automotive body and white goods, and are adding networking functionality to industrial and building automation systems.
