New Product Announcement, TK87C750 Microcontroller

Tekmos now offers the TK87C750 Microcontroller as the latest addition to the Tekmos TK8xCx51 family of microcontrollers. The TK87C750 can be used as a drop-in replacement for the 87C750 that many manufacturers are having trouble locating due to discontinuance by other component suppliers.

The TK87C750 is a subset of the TK87C51 and re-packaged in a space saving package. The 87C750 contains 256 bytes of RAM, 64K bytes of Flash memory, 19 I/O lines, a 16-bit auto-reload counter/timer, a five-source,fixed-priority level interrupt controller, and an on-chip oscillator. Like other members of the TK8xCx51 family, the fully static design of the TK87C750 allows operation at frequencies from DC to 16 MHz. It is a low power device with an Idle mode and a Power-Down mode for even lower current. Detailed specifications including block diagrams, electrical specifications, and timing diagrams can be found in the Tekmos TK87C750 data-sheet. The TK87C750 microcontroller is currently available in plastic 28 -pin PLCC and 24-pin PDIP packages.

Having a drop-in replacement for parts has shown to be a very cost effective way to extend the life of products when the original component manufacturer discontinues a part. The availability of a drop-in replacement part eliminates the need to make the tough decision whether to redesign a printed circuit board or discontinue a product.
