Microcontroller Block

The microcontroller block is a multichip device which offers a combination of a MARC4-
based microcontroller and a serial E2PROM data memory in a single package. A micro-
controller is used and as serial E2PROM the U505M. Two internal lines can be used as
chip-to-chip link in a single package. The maximum internal data communication fre-
quency between the microcontroller block and the U505M over the chip link (MCL_SC
and MCL_SD) is f

SC_MCL

= 500 kHz.

The microcontroller and the EEPROM portions of this multi-chip device are equivalent to
their respective individual component chips, except for the electrical specification.

Internal 2-wire Multi-chip Link

Two additional on-chip pads (MCL_SC and MCL_SD) for the SC and the SD line can be
used as chip-to-chip link for multi-chip applications. These pads can be activated by set-
ting the MCL-bit in the SISC-register.

U505M EEPROM

The U505M is a 512-bit EEPROM internally organized as 32 x 16-bits. The program-
ming voltage as well as the write-cycle timing is generated on-chip. The U505M features
a serial interface allowing operation on a simple two-wire bus with an MCL protocol. Its
low power consumption makes it well suited for battery applications.
