TMS370C686

The TMS370C686 features advanced register-to-register architecture that allows direct arithmetic and logical operations without requiring an accumulator (for example, ADD R24, R47; add the contents of register 24 to the contents of register 47 and store the result in register 47). The TMS370Cx8x family is fully instruction-set-compatible, providing easy transition between members of the TMS370 8-bit microcontroller family.

The TMS370C686 family provides the system designer with economical, efficient solutions to real-time control applications. The TMS370 family compact development tool (CDT^TM) solves the  challenge of efficiently developing the software and hardware required to design the TMS370Cx8x into an ever-increasing number of complex applications. The application source code can be written in assembly and C languages, and the output code can be generated by the linker. The TMS370 family CDT development tool communicates through a standard RS-232-C interface with an existing personal computer. This allows the designer to use familiar personal computer editors and software utilities. Precise real-time, in-circuit emulation and extensive symbolic debug and analysis tools ensure efficient software and hardware implementation as well as reducing the time-to-market cycle.

The TMS370C686 family together with the TMS370 family CDT370, software tools, the SE370C686 and SE370C758 (FZ package) reprogrammable devices, comprehensive product documentation, and customer support provide a complete solution to the needs of the system designer.
