N76E003 Series Overview
The N76E003 series products are 8-bit architecture, 1T 8051-based microcontrollers with many enhanced peripherals, and equipped with SPI, I2C, and 2 UART interfaces to provide excellent connectivity sufficiency.
Parts from this family have 1 KB of SRAM as well as 18 KB of flash memory and support updating programs in the manner of ISP, ICP, and IAP
N76E003 microcontrollers have multiple power control modes that help save the overall energy consumption and heat dissipation of the circuits.
When concerned with clock control, the built-in 16 MHz Internal RC oscillator unit was trimmed to ±1% at its minimum.
The part has wide-range of CAD Model applications and finds its significant place in fields like small home appliances, system monitoring, Arduino project, thermostat, etc.

Typical Schematic

Above is the suggestion circuit of the N76E003AT20 ICP (In-Circuit-Programming). The IPC method is a specific way for a microcontroller to communicate over the ICE interface. The microcontroller’s reset circuit is used to set up the part before running the program on its memory.
User Guidelines
– OCD (On-Chip-Debugger) using Restrictions
Because N76E003 is rich in functions and limited in pins, there may be multiple functions on one pin. It will happen when using the OCD system.
Sacrifice-some functions, mainly with the following restrictions:
- The P2.0/RST pin is used in OCD mode, so the pin can be used neither as input nor as an external reset.
- OCDDA shares a pin with P1.6, so the I/O function or other functions of the pin cannot be used.
- OCDCK shares a pin with P0.2, so the I/O function or other functions of the pin cannot be used.
- When the system is in idle or power-down mode, any access may be invalid because part of the peripheral clock has stopped. Read access is possible
Return useless data; write access may not be successful.
- HIRC cannot be turned off because OCD needs this clock to monitor internal working status. In debug mode, the instruction to turn off HIRC will not afford
Function, the CPU will continue to run when the HIRC enters the power-down mode.
– WDT (Watchdog Timer)
When the value of register CKDIV is not equal to 00H, the system clock frequency is split; if this occurs after the MCU is powered off, the WDT Reset will fail. So, while N76E003 is in power-down mode, use WKT to wake it up.
