The UCV-01XA is a central processing unit featuring P51XAS3-type microcontroller (a Philips Semiconductors product)/ PXAS30KFA (NXP) as last version, which is providing superior resources compared to UCV-01.

The 16-bit microcontroller provides enough performance to meet the requirements of high-performance applications, while maintaining optimal costs compared to series production-provided alternatives.

XA architecture allows bit-oriented operations from 80C51-compatible controllers, while offering the necessary support for multi-tasking operating systems and high-level programming languages, as C. The XA architecture speed is 10 to 100 times higher than an 80C51-type controller, providing the designers an easy solution for customized high-performance control applications.

XA architecture features:

80C51-type architecture compatibility
16-bit CPU, with 24-bit data adressing and program space
8 CPU registers of 16 bits, each capable of executing arithmetic and logic operations as well as memory pointers, while also providing direct memory operating alternative
8-bit as well as 16-bit CPU register operation execution availability
complex instruction set including bit-level operations, fast 16 x 16 multiply and 32/16 division operations
high-level designed instruction set
multi-tasking and real-time executive for up to 32 interrupt vectors, 16 "software traps", segmented data memory, and specific registers for context switching
XA architecture-specific power-down and idle operating modes, for low energy consumption running

UCV-01XA is equipped with an XA-S3-compatible 16-bit microcontroller, and integrates several peripheric structures one one chip, such as analog-to-digital converter, timers/counters, watchdog, programable counters, I2C interface, dual UART, and multiple input/output ports. It provides a suitable architecture for high performance control functions.

UCV-01XA is used for developing complex and performant, providing the following hardware resources:

XA-S3-compatible microcontroller, at over 11.0952 MHz or other, when necessary
64 KB program memory
64 KB SRAM system memory, with 16 MB memory extension option
2 KB EEPROM memory, serially connected on I2C bus
8 KB TIMEKEEPER and NVSRAM socket
16-bit bidirectional bus, for easy input/output port interfacing, with graphical and alphanumerical LCD module compatibility
16 MB SRAM or FLASH memory extension compatible bus
UART 1, 2 ( 2 serial interfaces) with connector availability
available connectors for main processor ports
5V supply voltage.

UCV-01XA is an open structure, ensuring high application versatility, at both data acquisition and local data processing, and other implemented system modules.
