The goals of designing the ML610Q100 family was to start with the U8 core, leverage off of the long experience LAPIS has with the 300 and 400 series of parts, and provide devices that are ideal to be deeply embedded in an end product. LAPIS knew that they had to provide a very high level of electrical noise tolerance, specifically compliance with IEC6100-4-2, which requires that the systems tolerates up to 15kV of ESD discharge, offer wide temperature range tolerant parts, and reduce the need for external support components. Users will see that the devices that are offered meet all of these goals, and more.
