The MCS 96 microcontroller family members are all high performance microcontrollers with a 16-bit CPU. The 87C196CA family members are composed of the high-speed (18 MHz) core as well as the following peripherals:
• 32 Kbytes of Programmable EPROM
• 1.0 Kbytes of register RAM and 512 bytes of code RAM (16-bit addressing modes) with the ability to execute from this RAM space
• Six–10-Bit/ ± 3 LSB analog to digital converter with programmable S/H times with conversion times < 5 µs at 16 MHz
• An asynchronous/synchronous serial I/O port (8096 compatible) with a dedicated 16-bit baud rate generator
• Interprocessor communication slave port
• Synchronous serial I/O port with full duplex master/slave transceivers
• A flexible timer/counter structure with prescaler, cascading, and quadrature capabilities
• Six modularized multiplexed high speed I/O for capture and compare (called Event Processor Array) with 250 ns resolution and double buffered inputs
• A sophisticated prioritized interrupt structure with programmable Peripheral Transaction
Server (PTS). The PTS has several channel modes, including single/burst block transfers from
any memory location to any memory location, a PWM and PWM toggle mode to be used in
conjunction with the EPA, and an A/D scan mode.
• Serial communications protocol CAN 2.0 with 15 message objects of 8 bytes data length
