They are perfectly suited to applications which require optimization of power consumption and component count, such as industrial process control and consumer appliances. It integrates an internal RC oscillator at 12 MHz, a programmable prescaler and works both with a reference crystal or a ceramic oscillator of 32 KHz or 4 to 33 MHz. The internal voltage reference can also be used externally reducing the need for external component. The devices are available in commercial and industrial temperature ranges.
Automotive range is to be introduced later.
Products operate at 66 MHz at 5 Volt or 40 MHz at 3 Volt. Volume production and samples are available now.
