A microcontroller normally has 40 or more pins since the input and output operations occur directly from the chip.

A microcontroller, although much more complex than a standard memory part, still has internal EPROM/FLASH EPROM as its program memory. Microcontrollers are usually found in products which perform a single function such as microwave ovens, computer printers, automatic sprinkler controllers, etc. This includes the central processing unit (CPU), the memory (EPROM or FLASH EPROM) and the I/O (input/output).

(Additional information about this technology family)Ī microcontroller is a complete computer on a chip. Their high storage capacity allows use in computer BIOS plus other memory intensive product applications. These parts must be erased before programming. HI-SPEED SPI FLASH EPROMs are high capacity parts based on FLASH memory technology not EEPROM. Although not as fast, serial eeproms and nvrams find use in many products due to their small size and low cost. Serial EEPROM Programmer » » Quick Find Enter keywords to find the product you are looking for in the Quick Find field above or use Categories Information Serial EEPROM Programmer, Parallel or Serial Port US129. This is accomplished by sending the required command, address and data serially (one bit at a time) over single pins instead of the multiple pins of a parallel part. Serial EEPROMs, NVRAMS and SPI FLASH EPROMS, all 8 pin parts, offer non-volatile storage in a physically small package. 8 PIN SERIAL EEPROMS, NVRAMS AND HI-SPEED SPI FLASH EPROMS (8 PIN)
