Compatible micrcontroller for ASIC VPC3+C interface.

[onkar1111]

Which of the microcontroller series are most compatible with ASIC VPC3+C? I also want to interface ADC, DAC and HMI with this microcontroller. Whether a simple 8051 or PIC or ARM series would satisfy these needs easily? Please suggest me which one should i go for? i have worked on 8051 and PIC both.

thanks.

Here is what the datasheet says about the processor that you can use...

The VPC3+C has a parallel 8-bit interface with an 11-bit address bus. The
VPC3+C supports all 8-bit processors and microcontrollers based on the
80C51/52 (80C32) from Intel, the Motorola HC11 family, as well as 8- /16-
bit processors or microcontrollers from the Siemens 80C166 family, X86
from Intel and the HC16 and HC916 family from Motorola. Because the
data formats from Intel and Motorola are not compatible, VPC3+C
automatically carries out ‘byte swapping’ for accesses to the following 16-
bit registers (Interrupt Register, Status Register and Mode Register 0) and
the 16-bit RAM cell (R_User_WD_Value). This makes it possible for a
Motorola processor to read the 16-bit value correctly. Reading or writing
takes place, as usual, through two accesses (8-bit data bus).
The Bus Interface Unit (BIU) and the Dual Port RAM Controller (DPC) that
controls accesses to the internal RAM belong to the processor interface of
the VPC3+C.

As long as the microcontroller that you choose matches these requirements then you should be fine. Past that, it just depends on the processing capabilities, power requirements, peripherals, etc. that you need for your project.

thanks a lot... i might select 80C32 series or 80C199 of siemens.
