MEC1618/MEC1618i is the mixed signal base component of a multi-device advanced I/O controller architecture. It incorporates a high-performance 32-bit ARC 625D embedded microcontroller with a 192 Kilobyte Embedded Flash Subsystem, 16 Kilobytes of SRAM and a 1 Kilobyte EEPROM Emulation and communicates with the system host using the Intel® Low Pin Count bus. The product is the Embedded Controller Base Component of a split-architecture Advanced I/O Controller system that uses BC-LinkTM communication protocol to access up to three companion components. The BC-LinkTM protocol is peer-to-peer, providing communication between the MEC1618 Embedded Controller and the registers located in a companion device. MEC1618 is directly powered by two individual suspend supply planes (VBAT and VTR) and senses a third runtime power plane (VCC) to provide “instant on” and system power management functions.
