ACE1501EMT8

Overview

The ACE1501EMT8 is an 8-bit Arithmetic Controller Engine (ACE) microcontroller from the ACEx family, manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It operates with a maximum clock frequency of 4 MHz and features an 8-bit CPU architecture. The device is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package with 6 I/O lines. Designed for low-power applications, it integrates essential processing capabilities within a compact surface-mount form factor suitable for embedded control tasks.

Feature Summary

• Integrated arithmetic controller engine optimized for low power consumption
• Compact 8-pin surface mount packaging for space-constrained designs
• Compatible interface with standard microcontrollers and processors

Applications

• Low power embedded control systems
• Simple arithmetic processing tasks
• Battery operated devices requiring minimal current draw

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm package integrity and pin alignment against the SOIC-8 specification. Check for obsolescence status as older Fairchild semiconductor products may have limited availability or require substitution verification before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-bit processing core with integrated arithmetic functions is required for low power applications. Ensure the 4 MHz operational speed meets system timing requirements. Verify that the 6 available I/O lines satisfy interface needs without additional multiplexing. Consider the SOIC-8 footprint compatibility during PCB layout design to ensure proper assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ACE1001 product family, representing Fairchild's specialized line of arithmetic controllers. These devices bridge the gap between general-purpose microcontrollers and dedicated arithmetic logic units. The family targets applications needing efficient mathematical operations with reduced power consumption compared to standard 8-bit MCUs.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official onsemi documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical characteristics carefully. Verify functional equivalence for arithmetic operations and I/O configurations before implementing any alternative components in existing designs.
