AppoTech Launches Its Smallest Package MCU - APG020
Nov 18, 2011 - HONG KONG – AppoTech Ltd today proudly announced the launch of its smallest package MCU: APG020, which has only 6 pins in SOT-23 package. The footprint of the package is only 1/3 of conventional SSOP packaged MCU. With such a small size package and competitive cost, APG020 can realize innovative applications, such as machine-to-machine communications, lighting control, LED control, active RFID tags and Internet of Things (物联网) applications, the upcoming high potential industry.
Tiny package with powerful features
The core of APG020 is a highly efficient 8-bit RISC MCU. It has 4-pin GPIO which can act as high current sink/source for driving LED. APG020 is embedded with one 8/16-bit timer which supports timer, counter and PWM mode. These features facilitate different types of peripheral smart control.
Leading SoC Solution Provider
AppoTech is the dominant leading SoC IC supplier. Leveraging rich experience in digital and analog IC design, APG020 is the first of a new series of compact and competitive MCU solutions which enables innovative product ideas and Internet of Things applications.
