The AX8052Fxxx ICs form an ultra-low power flash microcontroller family based on the 20 MHz AX8052 8-bit semi RISC core.
AXSEM offers stand-alone microcontrollers as well as RF microcontroller SoCs.
- AX8052F100 and AX8052F101 are stand-alone microcontrollers. AX8052F100 features an RF SPI interface that is optimized for use with AXSEM RF ICs.
- AX8052F151, AX8052F131 and AX8052F143 are RF microcontrollers distinguished by their RF capabilities.
The highly flexible clocking concept of the AX8052Fxxx family eases the creation of ultra-low power duty cycled applications considerably. The AX8052Fxxx family supports RF applications that require data security and it incorporates sophisticated encrytion technology. The security mechanisms also include measures to resist attacks to obtain the content of the memory.
To support application development AXSEM offers the AXSEM AX8052 Development System and the DVK-2 Development Kit. This suite of tools introduces a comfort level for development that is a novelty at the 8-bit level. The tool suite consists of
- The AX-RadioLab GUI which is used to efficiently setup radio link parameters for RF microcontrollers or for the AX8052F100 combined with one of AXSEM's RF ICs. AX-RadioLab produces C source code, compiles it and downloads it to target boards.
- AX-MicroLab GUI is a configurator and example code generator for AXSEM's AX8052F1xx MCUs
- AXCode::Blocks is a graphical Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for AX8052Fxxx projects. It can be used to create new projects or to further customize the AX-RadioLab generated code.
- AX8052 Support Library (LibMF) is a convenience library to ease the use of AXSEM AX8052 MCUs and RF ICs.
- AXSDB is the AXSEM symbolic command line debugger. Both AX-RadioLab and AXCode::Blocks talk to AXSDB. Users need not interact directly with AXSDB. However, AXSDB can be useful for automated or scripted tasks, thanks to its command line and TCL scripting features. AXSDB is part of the AX8052-IDE Software Package that can be downloaded on this page.
- SDCC is the C-compiler that AXSEM offers along with its development software. It is open source and freely usable. Usage of other industry standard compilers is possible. SDCC is part of the AX8052-IDE Software Package that can be downloaded on this page.
