Cop8




The COP8 microcontrollers from National Semiconductor are 8 bit CISC core Microcontroller , which main features are:

  • Large amount of I/O pins.

  • Plenty of FLASH/ROM for code and data (up to 32 KB).

  • Very low EMI. No known bugs.

  • Many integrated peripherals (meant as single chip design).

  • In-System Programming

  • Free assembler toolchain. Commercial C compilers available.

  • Free Multitasking OS and TCP/IP stack.


It has a machine cycle of up to 2M cycles per second, but most versions seem to be overclockable to up to 2.8M cycles per second (28 MHz clock).
