This diagram shows usage of several options that may be run independently of each other, though not in combination. Many applications are basically analog in nature, but interfacing with the world requires more than the ability to sense it alone. The KA is a simple solution that provides that logic in an affordable, simple, and space efficient manner. The code space required of NXP’s competition to the RS08KA2 is two to three times greater for both flash and RAM, which means more control can be achieved from the microcontroller.
