Analog Devices ADuC702x MicroConvertor - CH Ting
The ADuC702x is the latest microcontroller from Analog Devices. It has an ARM7 core, with a ton of peripherals, including 8 ADC, 4 DAC, 32 KBytes of flash memory, 8 KB of RAM, UART, SPI, GPIO, PWM, etc. Ting is in the process of porting his ARM eForth to it, and he hopes to show the results at the meeting. "It is interesting that Analog Devices puts so many ADC and DAC convertors in this part as it greatly eases instrumentation and automation tasks."
