The MB96F348RSBPMC-GSE2 is a 16-bit Proprietary Microcontroller based on advanced 16FX architecture. The CPU uses the same instruction set as the established 16LX series, thus allowing for easy migration of 16LX Software to the new 16FX products. 16FX improvements compared to the previous generation include significantly improved performance - even at the same operation frequency, reduced power consumption and faster start-up time. For highest processing speed at optimized power consumption an internal PLL can be selected to supply the CPU with up to 56MHz operation frequency from an external 4MHz resonator. The result is a minimum instruction cycle time of 17.8ns going together with excellent EMI behaviour. An on-chip clock modulation circuit significantly reduces emission peaks in the frequency spectrum. The emitted power is minimized by the on-chip voltage regulator that reduces the internal CPU voltage.
