FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the P87LPC762FD,512?
The P87LPC762FD,512 operates up to 20 MHz when VDD is 4.5–6.0 V, and up to 10 MHz when VDD is 2.7–6.0 V. Its accelerated 80C51 core executes most instructions in 300–600 ns at 20 MHz - twice the speed of standard 80C51 devices. Frequency selection is determined by oscillator configuration bits programmed into EPROM during manufacturing.
Does the P87LPC762FD,512 support in-system programming?
No, the P87LPC762FD,512 uses One-Time Programmable (OTP) EPROM for code storage and does not support in-system or in-circuit reprogramming. Programming occurs once during production using serial EPROM programmers. The two EPROM security bits prevent unauthorized reading of the firmware, ensuring intellectual property protection for deployed units.
How is the watchdog timer configured on the P87LPC762FD,512?
The P87LPC762FD,512 watchdog timer uses a separate on-chip oscillator and is configured via the WDCON# and WDRST# special function registers. Timeout duration is selectable across eight values using WDS2–WDS0 bits. A valid feed sequence (writing 0x5A then 0xA5 to WDRST#) must occur before timeout to prevent reset - enabling robust recovery from software hangs without external components.
Can the P87LPC762FD,512 operate without an external crystal?
Yes, the P87LPC762FD,512 supports an on-chip RC oscillator option selected via EPROM configuration bits. This allows full operation with only VDD, VSS, and optional reset components - eliminating external crystals, capacitors, or resonators. The RC oscillator provides sufficient accuracy for UART communication, keypad scanning, and non-critical timing functions in cost-sensitive applications.
What are the I/O configuration options for port pins on the P87LPC762FD,512?
Each port pin on the P87LPC762FD,512 supports four output configurations: quasi-bidirectional (default), open-drain (required for I²C), push-pull (for higher drive strength), and input-only. These are set independently per pin using P0M1#/P0M2# and P1M1#/P1M2# SFRs. Additionally, Schmitt-trigger inputs can be enabled/disabled per port to improve noise immunity on digital inputs.
