CY53150

The CY53150 is a Neuron® Chip which implements a node for the LonWorks® distributed intelligent control networks. It incorporates, on a single chip, the necessary communication and control functions, both in hardware and firmware, that facilitate the design of a LonWorks node.

The CY53150 is manufactured using the state-of-the-art 0.35-m Flash technology, providing to the designers the most cost-effective Neuron Chip solution.

The CY53150 incorporates an external memory interface, which can address up to 64 KB, with 6 KB of the address space being mapped internally. LonWorks nodes that require large application codes can take advantage of the external memory capability. The LonTalk protocol firmware is also stored in the external memory, requiring a space of 16 KB. The configuration data are stored in the on-chip EEPROM memory.

The CY53150 contains a very flexible 5-pin communication port, that can be configured to interface to a wide variety of media transceivers at a wide range of data rates. The most common transceiver types are: twisted-pair, powerline, RF, IR, fiber-optics, and coaxial.

The CY53150 Neuron Chip is a drop-in replacement for the Motorola MC143150B2 device.
