Introduction

ST52x430 is an 8-bit Intelligent Control Units (ICU) of the ST Five Family, which can perform both boolean and fuzzy algorithms in an efficient manner, in order to reach the best performances that the two methodologies allow.

ST52x430 is produced by STMicroelectronics using the reliable high performance CMOS process, including integrated-on-chip peripherals that allow maximization of system reliability, decreasing system costs and minimizing the number of external components.
