Ramtron International has launched the VRS51L3074, an 8051-based microcontroller with non-volatile FRAM memory. Offering a non-volatile data storage and processing system that only a FRAM-enhanced MCU can provide, the device combines 8KB of FRAM memory with a fully-integrated, high-performance systemon-chip. Features include an advanced 40MIPS, single-cycle 8051-core, 64KB Flash with In-System/In-Application Programming, 4KB SRAM, a JTAG program/debug interface, digital signal processing (DSP) extensions, and a robust digital peripheral set. Operating at 3.3V over the entire industrial temperature range, the VRS51L3074 targets a wide array of applications from sensors and metering to industrial control, instrumentation and medical devices.
