Need help to pick micro

I am looking for a micro that is easy to setup in own circuit.

I need it to read 4 digital inputs and 4 analog inputs (4xADC) and write 4 analog outputs (4xDAC or 4 X duty cycle). Inside the micro I will be doing some control stuff.

I have only experience in programming micro controllers on a development board, so it would be nice if it is easy to build the auxiliary electronics (eksample circuits would be realy nice).

Hope someone can help me.

I like the TI MSP430 and Cygnal 8051's. If you go PIC be sure to use the

18F series. All have ADCs and DACs.

HTH.

4 DAC/PWM outputs on-chip might not be such an easy requirement.

Try the TI MSC1211. It has 4 16bit DACs, as well as 8 channels of 24bit A/D.

DACs yes, but a quick glance at the Cygnal 8051s and the Microchip 18Fxxx seem to indicate parts with > 4 ADCs and >= 4 PWMs.

A nice part. Fairly fast 8051 core, and up to 32K of flash in a TQFP-64.

I am still working on it.

Thanks for your advice. :)

Hi,

I have been looking at the Cygnal 8051 (C8051F000). It has 8 Adc, 2 dac, 5 PWM modules plus it has 32k flash ram. It all looks good to me :)

To get started with the C8051F000 I was thinking of using the C8051F000DK development kit.

Now the questions: Is it easy to get started with the C8051F000DK development kit? Can a noob setup the blinky program in 10 min? Does it have good example programs (like blinky)?
