Keil supports Infineon XC878 Series

Plano, TX: Keil announce support for the XC878 series of Infineon microcontrollers in the new C51 Version 8.15 release. The XC878 series expands Infineon's 8-bit XC800 microcontroller family to provide more scalable performance for cost-sensitive industrial and automotive applications. XC878 devices operate at up to 26.7MHz and support up to 64 Kbyte of Flash memory, 2 independent PWM units, 10 PWM outputs and a 10-bit analog to digital converter.

The Keil C51 Version 8.15 supports Infineon XC878 devices with Flash Programming and Program Debugging using the µVision IDE/Debugger and the ULINK2 USB-JTAG Adapter. Also provided is support for the Infineon DAS interface. The µVision IDE directly interfaces to Infineon DAvE for seamless device configuration. The µVision Debugger contains both a cycle-accurate device simulator that provides models of all on-chip peripherals of the Infineon XC878 devices.

An evaluation version of C51 v8.15 is available for download which includes an example project to help test the software on XC800 devices.
