ABOV SEMICONDUCTOR
ABOV Semiconductor is a Korean company founded in 2006 with the ambition to enter the global market of microcontrollers, and over time, also systems equipped with AI functionality (segment Edge AI MCU). The brand's products are used, among others, in premium appliances in the home appliance industry, where they combine the reliability expected by consumers with optimal cost. It is worth noting that the R&D background is based on over 30 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, inherited from the company's predecessors, the brands LG Semiconductor and MagnaChip.
In the TME catalog, you can find popular ABOV systems, including 8-bit microcontrollers with M8051 architecture, 32-bit microcontrollers based on the ARM Cortex-M0+ core, as well as evaluation kits for learning and prototyping based on the manufacturer's solutions. The microcontrollers are equipped with a range of functionalities, multi-pin GPIO ports, including high-power pins (intended to function as LED drivers), serial interfaces USART, UART, I2C, SPI, as well as timers (including 32-bit), A/C converters, DMA channels, watchdog protection circuits. Importantly, the supplier's systems can be programmed using the CodeGen8 and CodeGen32 environments offered by the supplier, enabling simplified yet fully functional microcontroller programming with the help of a graphical interface.
