Targeting applications that combine power electronics with LCD-based user display and interface, the TMP86FS27FG/DFG device's combination of peripherals offers a more integrated microcontroller solution. The use of a large 60Kbyte on-chip Flash memory allows designers to create multiple product variations via straightforward software changes and to use the device in end-equipment that may need field upgrades (for instance, when standards change in the communications industry). In addition, it can be used as a development platform, before the engineering team commits the design to the pin and function compatible mask-programmed equivalent (the TMP86CM27/P27) for mass production at the lowest possible cost.
