1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The NuMicro
®
M0A21/M0A23 series is a 32-bit microcontroller based on Arm
®
Cortex
®
-M0 core. It
provides compact package with highly flexible digital pin function assignment, rich analog peripherals, -
40°C to 125°C operating temperature, 2.4V ~ 5.5V operating voltage, CAN 2.0B and LIN interface for
robust communication. The NuMicro
®
M0A23/M0A21 series targets robust and high operating
temperature applications, such as 24 GHz mmWave radar, Battery Management System (BMS),
car
lighting, electric window lifter, and power seat.
The NuMicro
®
M0A21/M0A23 series provide SSOP20 and TSSOP28 package with rich analog and
digital functions, which are especially suitable for small form factor applications. SSOP20 provides up
to 18 IO pins and TSSOP28 provides up to 26 IO pins. Each IO pin of the M0A21/M0A23 series can be
arbitrarily assigned to digital peripherals, such as UART, SPI, and PWM. The M0A21/M0A23 series
provides rich analog functions including 17-ch 12-bit 500 KSPS ADC, 1 set of 5-bit DAC and 2 sets of
ACMP in both SSOP20 and TSSOP28 package. Moreover, it provides low voltage reset (LVR) and
brown-out detector (BOD) to ensure the system safety.
The NuMicro
®
M0A21/M0A23 series runs up to 48 MHz and supports hardware divider. It provides 32
Kbytes Flash memory, 4 Kbytes SRAM and 2 Kbytes LDROM for ISP (In-System Programming) feature
for easily firmware update. It is equipped with plenty of peripherals including up to four 32-bit timers, 6-
ch 16-bit PWM generators, 1 set of CAN 2.0B controller, 2 sets of LIN functions, 5-ch PDMA, 2 sets of
UART with One-Wire mode, IrDA and RS485 functions. Besides, the M0A21/M0A23 series provides
two sets of Universal Serial Control Interfaces (USCI) that can be configured as UART, SPI or I
2
C.
The package types of the M0A21/M0A23 series are included SSOP20 (5.3x7.2x1.75 mm) and
TSSOP28 (4.4x9.7x1.0 mm).
