Low-cost 8-bit MCUs are IEC-60730 compliant

The S08PT, S08PA, and S08PL 8-bit MCUs are compliant with the IEC-60730 safety standard for household appliances. They provide exceptional EFT/ESD performance to withstand the harsh and noisy environments in consumer and industrial-control applications.

The low-cost devices have 2 to 60 Kbytes of flash, a 128- or 256-Kbyte EEPROM, and 0.5 to 4 Kbyes of flash. They operate from either a 2.7 to5.5 or 4.5 to 5.5-V supply. The MCUs have an internal clock, a RT clock, and an optional 16-ch. touch-sensing interface. An available S08R version is AEC-Q100-compliant for automotive applications.
