Introduction to the MSC1210
1.4 Family Device Compatibility
The hardware functionality and pin outs across the MSC1210 family are fully
compatible. The only difference between family members is the memory con-
figuration and this enables simple migration between family members. Code
written for the 4K bytes program memory version of the MSC1210 can be exe-
cuted directly on the 8K, 16K, or 32K versions. This allows you to add or delete
software functions and to freely migrate between family members.
The MSC1210 can become a standard device used across several application
platforms.
1.5 Flash Memory
The MSC1210 features flexible flash memory that allows you to uniquely con-
figure the program and non-volatile data memory maps to meet the needs of
the application. The flash memory is programmable over the entire operating
voltage range and temperature range using both serial and parallel program-
ming methods.
1.6 High Performance Analog Functions
The analog functionality is state-of-the-art. The ADC is extremely low noise,
which enables you to meet even the most stringent analog requirements. The
integrated programmable gain amplifier (PGA) further improves the perfor-
mance of the ADC. This effectively provides for resolution into the nanovolt
range.
The on-chip voltage reference provides for low drift and high accuracy, thus
eliminating the need for an external voltage reference.
These features are integrated with other analog functions, such as a program-
mable filter, multiplexer, temperature sensor, burnout current sources, analog
input buffer, and an offset correction digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
