Description

The AT89C55WD is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcontroller with

20K bytes of Flash programmable read only memory and 256 bytes of RAM. The

device is manufactured using Atmel’s high-density nonvolatile memory technology

and is compatible with the industry standard 80C51 and 80C52 instruction set and

pinout. The on-chip Flash allows the program memory to be user programmed by a

conventional nonvolatile memory programmer. By combining a versatile 8-bit CPU

with Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89C55WD is a powerful microcomputer

which provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution to many embedded control

applications.

The AT89C55WD provides the following standard features: 20K bytes of Flash, 256

bytes of RAM, 32 I/O lines, three 16-bit timer/counters, a six-vector, two-level interrupt

architecture, a full-duplex serial port, on-chip oscillator, and clock circuitry. In addition,

the AT89C55WD is designed with static logic for operation down to zero frequency

and supports two software selectable power saving modes. The Idle Mode stops the

CPU while allowing the RAM, timer/counters, serial port, and interrupt system to con-

tinue functioning. The Power-down Mode saves the RAM contents but freezes the

oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next external interrupt or hardware

reset.
