Acroview, the leader in chip programming, has officially announced further expansion of its compatible device coverage alongside the release of a new version of its programming software. The company’s core product—the universal programming platform AP8000—has now been fully adapted to support SinOne’s Flash microcontroller SC95R503P32.

The SC95R503P32 is an enhanced high-speed 1T 8051-core industrial-grade Flash microcontroller with integrated touch key functionality, and its instruction set is fully compatible with the traditional 8051 product series. It features an ultra-high-speed 1T 8051 CPU core running at up to 32MHz, delivering approximately twice the execution speed of other 1T 8051 devices at the same operating frequency. The IC integrates a hardware multiplier/divider, hardware CRC, and dual DPTR data pointers to accelerate data computation and movement. The hardware multiplier/divider and hardware CRC do not occupy CPU cycles—operations are performed by hardware, achieving faster speeds than software implementations. The dual DPTR data pointers accelerate data storage and movement.

The SC95R503P32 offers high performance and reliability, with a wide operating voltage range of 2.0V to 5.5V, an ultra-wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, and excellent ESD performance and EFT immunity. It adopts industry-leading eFlash process technology, with Flash write endurance exceeding 100,000 cycles and data retention of 100 years at room temperature. The SC95R503P32 features a built-in low-power WDT watchdog timer, 4-level selectable LVR low-voltage reset, and system clock monitoring, along with low-power capability in both run and power-down modes. Typical current consumption in normal operating mode is about 4.5mA at 5V/32MHz. The SC95R503P32 also integrates a rich set of hardware resources: 27 high-sensitivity proximity capacitive touch circuits, 32Kbytes Flash ROM, SRAM (256 bytes internal direct + 4Kbytes external indirect + PWM RAM), 6Kbytes EEPROM, up to 30 GPIOs (all with分级 control), 13 external interrupt-capable IOs, 5 16-bit timers, a total of 14 channels of 16-bit PWM (8 channels of multi-functional PWM with dead-band and complementary outputs, and 6 channels of timer-output PWM), 1 UART, 3 USCI (UART/SPI/TWI selectable), internal high-frequency oscillator with ±1% accuracy (32/16/8/4MHz) and low-frequency 32kHz oscillator with ±4% accuracy, external 2~16MHz high-frequency crystal oscillator, and 13-channel 12-bit high-precision ADC.

The SC95R503P32 is very convenient for development and debugging, supporting ISP (In System Programming), ICP (In Circuit Programming), and IAP (In Application Programming). It allows program memory to be debugged and upgraded directly on the circuit board while the chip is online or powered.

With excellent noise immunity and outstanding touch key performance, the SC95R503P32 is well suited for touch key and main control applications in various use scenarios, such as smart home appliances, smart home, IoT, wireless communications, game consoles, and other industrial control and consumer applications.
