Universal Programmer AP8000 Supports Programming of Nuvoton‘s Low-voltage Microcontroller M031TC1AE

Core Recording Micro Semiconductor recently released the latest programming software update and a list of newly supported chip models, among which the programming of Nuvoton's low-voltage microcontroller M031TC1AE has been replaced by Supported by the recording platform AP8000.

M031TC1AE is a low operating voltage microcontroller based on Arm^® Cortex^®-M0 core, with 32-bit hardware multiplier/divider, operating frequency up to 48MHz, operating voltage of 1.8~3.6 V, equipped with 32KB Flash and 4KB SRAM.

With its specially designed performance, such as 2 MSPS ADC, 96MHz PWM, 24MHz SPI, and 6MHz UART. It can be used in industrial control and consumer applications, allowing fast and accurate conversion of voltage, current, and sensor data, and fast response and control of external modules, such as current or voltage feedback from motor control or sensing devices.

M031TC1AE also provides a large number of peripherals, including 3 sets of UART, 1 set of SPI/I²S, 2 sets of I²C, 10 channels of 12-bit ADC, 6 channels of 16-bit PWM, etc., which can meet various application requirements. It can work in a wide temperature range of -40℃~+105℃. The whole series of the same package is Pin-to-Pin compatible.

The AP8000 universal programmer independently developed by Core Recording Micro Semiconductor includes three parts: the host, the base plate, and the adapter seat.

The host supports USB and NET connections, allowing multiple emmc programmers to be networked to achieve the purpose of simultaneously controlling multiple programmers to burn at the same time. The built-in chip safety protection circuit ensures that even if the chip is reversed or a short circuit is caused by other reasons can be detected immediately and the power is turned off to ensure the safety of the chip and programmer. Embedded high-speed FPGA greatly accelerates data transmission and processing. There is an SD card slot on the back of the main unit. Put the project file produced by the PC software into the root directory of the SD card and insert it into the card slot. The project file can be selected, loaded, and burned through the buttons on the programmer. command, in order to achieve the purpose of operating without a PC, which greatly reduces the cost of PC hardware configuration, and can be conveniently and quickly matched with the working environment.

AP8000 makes the mainframe more expandable through the backplane and adapter board. Currently, it has supported devices produced by all mainstream semiconductor manufacturers. Supported device types include NAND, NOR, MCU, CPLD, FPGA, EMMC, etc., and support file formats including Intel Hex, Motorola S, Binary, POF, etc.
