Product Overview
The Intel 8xC251TA/TB/TP/TQ and 8xC251SA/SB/SP/SQ are based on the new high performance MCS® 251 microcontroller architecture.
Being members of the MCS 251 microcontroller family, the 8xC251TA/TB/TP/TQ and 8xC251SA/SB/SP/SQ have the same advanced register
based CPU architecture and a pipelined instruction execution unit. They use the powerful MCS 251 microcontroller instruction set,
with many enhanced 8, 16 and 32-bit instructions available. The new microcontrollers are also specially designed to execute C code
efficiently. Most importantly, the 8xC251TA/TB/TP/TQ and 8xC251SA/SB/SP/SQ are binary code and pin compatible with existing MCS 51
microcontrollers. They provide an easy performance upgrade path for all existing MCS 51 microcontroller applications.
8xC251SA/SB/SP/SQ
The 8xC251SA/SB/SP/SQ features a rich combination of integrated peripherals that make it an even more powerful microcontroller.
The Programmable Counter Array (PCA) provides the flexibility for applications that require real time compare/capture, high speed
I/O and pulse width modulation capabilities. Also included is an enhanced serial port for multi-processor communications, a
hardware watch dog timer, a program lock scheme for on-chip program memory and two power saving modes: idle mode and power down mode.
The 8xC251SA/SB/SP/SQ has 1 Kbyte or 512 bytes on-chip data RAM and is available with 16 Kbytes or 8 Kbytes of on-chip OTPROM/EPROM
(87C251SA/SB/SP/SQ), or ROM (83C251SA/SB/SP/SQ), or ROMless (80C251SB/SQ) options. The 8xC251SA/SB/SP/SQ operates from static standby
to 16 MHz clock frequency and is available in 44-pin PLCC and 40-pin package options.
8xC251TA/TB/TP/TQ (New Products)
The 8xC251TA/TB/TP/TQ is based on the MCS® 251 microcontroller architecture and has ALL of the 8xC251SA/SB/SP/SQ peripheral
features plus a 2nd programmable serial I/O port (UART). In addition, the 8xC251TA/TB/TP/TQ microcontroller can perform up to 24
MHz frequency and maintains pin and code compatibility with MCS 51/151/251 microcontrollers. Similar with the 8XC251SA/SB/SP/SQ,
the 8xC251TA/TB/TP/TQ has 512 bytes or 1 Kbyte of on-chip data RAM options, 8 Kbytes and 16 Kbytes of on-chip ROM or ROMless options,
and is available in 44LD PLCC and 40LD PDIP package options.
Applications Information
The 8xC251TA/TB/TP/TQ and 8xC251SA/SB/SP/SQ microcontrollers are an ideal performance upgrade path for all existing MCS 51
microcontroller applications. The high performance architecture and the advanced features available in the 8xC251TA/TB/TP/TQ
and 8xC251SA/SB/SP/SQ also make them ideally suited for applications requiring complex data manipulation functions and real
time control capability such as printers, copiers, scanners, CD-ROM drives, tape drives, POS terminals, modems, digital phones,
cellular/wireless handsets and linecards.

that includes Project Maintenance and graphical Program Analysis. The kit also includes ApBuilder and the Hypertext 251 User's Manual.
When you are ready to design your hardware, the kit includes interactive hardware timing models of the Intel Microcontrollers. It's
like having a Data Sheet which allows you to perform "what if" timing analysis! Additionally, the kit includes schematic files and
libraries of several Intel 51 and 251 boards with a CAD viewer. Start your design with a working schematic to build on! With Project
Builder, you'll be Working Smarter... NOT Harder!

ApBUILDER Interactive Applications Programming Software
ApBUILDER is a powerful tool which generates source code for programming Intel's Embedded Processors with a click of a mouse! This powerful design tool speeds
up the learning curve and reduces the total design time for the embedded control application programmer. Each screen of ApBUILDER is context sensitive and linked
to Intel's hypertext device user's manuals.
Just use your mouse to touch a bit, flag, register or instruction then hit the "Manual" button and the built-in hypertext link will take you right to the
paragraph in the device user's manual. With Intel's hypertext manuals and data sheets its easy to make copies or share them over a network too.
To obtain ApBUILDER and the Hypertext User's Manuals FREE, just download them from the Intel home page on the World Wide Web:
WWW: www.intel.com
or ftp: ftp.intel.com
Select "Embedded Design Products" on the Intel home page.
