Introduction
C515C
1 Introduction
The C515C is an enhanced, upgraded version of the SAB 80C515A 8-bit microcontroller which
additionally provides a full CAN interface, a SPI compatible synchronous serial interface, extended
power save provisions, additional on-chip RAM, 64K byte of on-chip program memory, two new
external interrupts and RFI related improvements. With a maximum external clock rate of 10 MHz
it achieves a 600 ns instruction cycle time (1 µs at 6 MHz).
The C515C-8R contains a non-volatile 64k byte read-only program memory. The C515C-L is
identical to the C515C-8R, except that it lacks the on-chip program memory The C515C-8E is the
OTP version in the C515C microcontroller with a 64k byte one-time programmable (OTP) program
memory. With the C515C-8E fast programming cycles are achieved (1 byte in 100 µsec). Also
several levels of OTP memory protection can be selected. If compared to the C515C-8R and
C515C-L, the C515C-8E OTP version additionally provides two features :
– the wake-up from software power down mode can, additionally to the external pin P3.2/INT0
wake-up capability, also be triggered alternatively by a second pin P4.7/RXDC.
– for power consumption reasons the on-chip CAN controller can be switched off
The term C515C refers to all versions within this documentation unless otherwise noted.
