APPLICATIONS

The low-power, high-performance RISC architecture of the DS2792 makes it an excellent fit for many portable or

battery-powered applications that require cost-effective computing and analog measurement capability. The high-

throughput core is programmable in circuit over the UART and JTAG interfaces, allowing for firmware upgrades

and ease of code development. Applications benefit from UART and GPIO peripheral interfaces allowing the

microcontroller to communicate with many external devices. The DS2792’s high level of integration reduces

component count and board space, critical factors in the design of portable systems.

The DS2792 is ideally suited for applications such as fuel gauging, sensor conditioning, and data collection.
