MCU Packs Clock Generators

Packing dual PLL clock generators for 27 MHz RF transmissions, the 68HC08 8-bit microcontroller eliminates the need for external RF front-end crystals in multi-channel applications. Each PLL is programmable and can accept different frequency channel selections in the receiver. Any one of the device's five channels can be defined in order to eliminate interference generated by other wireless devices. The MCU also supports peripheral connectivity via its USB interface and also include on-chip flash memory. Price: $2.95 each/10K. MOTOROLA INC., Austin, TX. (512) 895-2000.
