The BH45F68 is a Flash Memory 8-bit high performance RISC architecture microcontroller device that specifically designed for Glucose Meter pplications.

For memory features, the Flash Memory offers users the convenience of multi-programming features. Other memory includes an area of RAM Data Memory as well as an area of true EEPROM memory for storage of non-volatile data such as serial numbers, calibration data etc.

Analog features include a multi-channel 12-bit A/D converter, an 12-bit D/A converter and two internal operational amplifiers. Multiple and extremely flexible Timer Modules provide timing, pulse generation and PWM generation functions. Communication with the outside world is catered for by including fully integrated SPI, I2C and UART interface functions, these popular interfaces which provide designers with a means of easy communication with external peripheral hardware. Protective features such as an internal Watchdog Timer, Low Voltage Reset and Low Voltage Detector coupled with excellent noise immunity and ESD protection ensure that reliable operation is maintained in hostile electrical environments.

A full choice of external and internal high and low oscillator functions are provided including fully integrated system oscillators which require no external components for their implementation. The ability to operate and switch dynamically between a range of operating modes using different clock sources gives users the ability to optimise microcontroller operation and minimise power consumption.

With regard to Glucose Meter applications, the device has integrated many of the functions required by these products. These include functions such as Internal Reference Voltage generator, 12-bit D/A Converter, LCD driver function, etc. The inclusion of flexible I/O programming features, Time-Base functions along with many other features ensure that the device will be highly capable of providing MCU solutions for Glucose Meter applications which include an LCD display.
