PRODUCT OVERVIEW  
S3C8-SERIES MICROCONTROLLERS 
Samsung's S3C8 series of 8-bit single-chip CMOS microcontrollers offers a fast and efficient CPU, a wide range 
of integrated peripherals, and various mask-programmable ROM sizes. Among the major CPU features are: 
•  Efficient register-oriented architecture 
•  Selectable CPU clock sources 
•  Idle and Stop power-down mode release by interrupt or reset 
•  Built-in basic timer with watchdog function 
A sophisticated interrupt structure recognizes up to eight interrupt levels. Each level can have one or more 
interrupt sources and vectors. Fast interrupt processing (within a minimum of four CPU clocks) can be assigned to 
specific interrupt levels.  
S3C8275X/F8275X/C8278X/F8278X/C8274X/F8274X MICROCONTROLLER 
The S3C8275X/F8275X/C8278X/F8278X/C8274X/F8274X single-chip CMOS microcontrollers are fabricated 
using the highly advanced CMOS process, based on Samsung's latest CPU architecture. 
The S3C8275X/C8278X/C8274X is a microcontroller with a 16/8/4K-byte mask-programmable ROM embedded. 
The S3F8275X/F8278X/F8274X is a microcontroller with a 16/8/4K-byte flash ROM embedded. 
Using a proven modular design approach, Samsung engineers have successfully developed the 
S3C8275X/F8275X/C8278X/F8278X/C8274X/F8274X by integrating the following peripheral modules with the 
powerful SAM8 core: 
•  Seven programmable I/O ports, including six 8-bit ports and one 4-bit port, for a total of 52 pins. 
•  Eight bit-programmable pins for external interrupts. 
•  One 8-bit basic timer for oscillation stabilization and watchdog function (system reset). 
•  Two 8-bit timer/counter with selectable operating modes. 
•  Watch timer for real time 
FLASH 
The S3F8275X/F8278X/F8274X are FLASH version of the S3C8275X/C8278X/C8274X microcontroller. The 
S3F8275X/F8278X/F8274X microcontroller has an on-chip FLASH ROM instead of a masked ROM. The 
S3F8275X/F8278X/F8274X is comparable to the S3C8275X/C8278X/C8274X, both in function and in pin 
configuration. The S3F8275X only is a full flash. The full flash means that data can be written into the program 
ROM by an instruction.
