Holtek microcontroller u-plan completes its first stage

April 26, 2000

The successful release of the HT48R05A-1, HT48R06A-1 and HT48RA0A OTP (one time programmable) microcontroller devices sees the completion of the first stage of Holtek's microcontroller u-plan. The devices were officially launched at a new product release seminar in Taipei, Taiwan on 12th April. Among these OTP microcontrollers, the HT48R05A-1 and the HT48R06A-1 belong in the I/O category while the third, the HT48RA0A, sits in the remote control microcontroller device category.

The microcontroller u-plan was implemented by Holtek to strengthen the comprehensiveness of the microcontroller product line development plan. Within the u-plan, by using a more advanced process, in addition to the development of microcontrollers that will be fully compatible with Holtek's presently available devices, Holtek plans to develop a range of special application devices. These devices will incorporate the features of high and low operational voltages. In addition, the higher specification offered by the device's high noise immunity capabilities, place them above the average microcontroller device in the related industry.

Within the microcontroller u-plan is the intended release of a range of new devices including new microcontrollers for I/O applications, LCDs, A/D, sensor, battery charger, home appliances, remote control etc, all specifically developed for an extensive range of different application areas and including different memory capacities. The Holtek u-plan microcontrollers, with their high functionality and high quality in addition to the advantages of highly competitive pricing levels, will in the OTP market area, supply a complete and fast methodology for microcontroller solutions. In its implementation, the Holtek microcontroller u-plan will therefore lay the foundation for the future development of Holtek's new generation of embedded microcontroller product offerings.
