Description
The AT90SC9618RT is a low-power, high-performance, 8/16-bit microcontroller with ROM program memory and EEPROM
data memory, based on the secureAVR RISC architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the
AT90SC9618RT achi eves throughpu ts close to 1 M IPS pe r MHz . Its Harv ard ar chitec ture in cludes 32 ge neral p urpos e
working regi sters d irectl y connec ted to th e ALU, al lowin g two ind epende nt regis ters t o be acces sed in on e sing le ins truction executed in one clock cycle.
The AT90SC9618RT uses the secureAVR that allows the linear addressing of up to 8M bytes of code and up to 16M bytes
of data as well as a number of new functional and security features.
The AT90SC9618RT includes 18K bytes of Atmel’s high density, non volatile memory.
Additional security features include power and frequency protection logic, logical scrambling on program data and
addresses, Power Analysis countermeasures and memory accesses controlled by a supervisor mode.
