80C52-BASIC
Application Notes: Controlling 80C52 Port 1 Bits with Assembly Language Calls Reading 80C52 Port 3 bits	Since first releasing the 80C52 in the fall of 1987, Micromint has been the world's preeminent supplier of the chip. We continue to be the leading supplier of "BASIC on a chip." The Micromint 80C52 is a CMOS, low-power, enhanced, software-compatible successor to the original power-hungry Intel 8052AH-BASIC chip. We sell so many of these chips that we even made a PLCC version. Our 80C52-BASIC chip was designed for industrial use and operates significantly beyond the limits of standard commercial-grade chips. The Micromint 80C52-BASIC chip is guaranteed to operate flawlessly from DC to 12 MHz over the entire industrial temperature range (40°C to +85°C). It is available in 40-pin DIP or 44-pin PLCC.

PLIX
	PLIX is an 18-pin CMOS chip which provides an intelligent communication interface between a computer and X-10 AC power-line control modules. PLIX removes the burden of complex X-10 programming protocol from the designer by providing a simple parallel interface. It takes care of the complex zero-crossing timing for sending and receiving X-10 commands so you don't have to. An otherwise simple embedded controller can now also feature X-10 power-line control by simply adding a PLIX chip to the design. To speed your examination, we have configured a special evaluation board which connects to and is powered from a PC's parallel printer port. Using our example software and a TW253 power-line adapter module, you'll see how easy it is to remotely control appliances and lights through the power line. Order PLIX chips for your next hardware design or use OEM PLIX evaluation kits to market your own latest and best PC home-control software.

TI01
	Take the ranging circuitry from the Polaroid camera system, increase the functionality, and what do you get? You get the TI01 Sonar Ranger. The TI01 is a Polaroid 50-kHz, 300-V electrostatic transducer and a specially developed ultrasonic ranging electronics board. This ranger is capable of single echo mode for single target ranging and multiple echo mode for measuring distances to a number of variable-distance targets. It measures ranges from 12" to 35' with an accuracy of ±1.2". The Sonar Ranger connects to any computer system's TTL-level port. It needs only two bits: transmit enable and receive echo. The edge time from transmit enable to receive echo is the object distance. The circuit requires only +5 VDC. All Sonar Ranger kits come with a user's manual and complete data sheets.
