ACE1101BEMT8

Overview

The ACE1101BEMT8 is an Arithmetic Controller Engine (ACE) microcontroller IC manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It features the ACE1001 core processor for swift processing and includes EEPROM for assessing resistance at forward current during LED or diode testing. The device operates within a voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and is housed in a TSSOP-8 package.

Feature Summary

• Integrated ACE1001 core processor for efficient arithmetic control
• Built-in EEPROM for LED and diode resistance assessment
• Optimized for low power applications

Applications

• Low power embedded systems
• LED driver control circuits
• Diode testing equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation, as Fairchild Semiconductor's discrete and logic products were acquired by ON Semiconductor. Ensure the specific ordering suffix matches the required voltage range and packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any obsolescence notices from the current supplier before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated arithmetic controller with integrated memory for sensor or diode feedback is required. The ACE architecture offers a balance of processing speed and power efficiency suitable for battery-operated devices. Consider the TSSOP-8 footprint constraints and the 2.7V minimum operating voltage against system power rails.

Part Context

The ACE1101 series belongs to Fairchild’s Arithmetic Controller Engine family, designed as dedicated programmable monolithic integrated circuits. These components target applications demanding high performance with minimal power consumption, serving as specialized controllers rather than general-purpose microprocessors.

Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalents within the ACE1001/ACE1101 family variants. Verify pin compatibility and software register mapping if substituting with other ACE series parts. Cross-reference with ON Semiconductor documentation due to corporate acquisition.
