Altium releases new TASKING development tools to support ON Semiconductor’s LC87 MCU family

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: Altium Ltd announced support for the LC87 microcontroller family from ON Semiconductor through a brand new TASKING compiler suite based on its highly respected Viper "VX" compiler technology.

The TASKING VX-toolset is a set of development tools for building and debugging embedded applications using C and assembly. It brings high-performance and compact code generation, as well as advanced debugging capabilities to embedded designs incorporating LC87 microcontrollers.

ON Semiconductor's LC87 product family of microcontrollers includes more than 100 devices. These 8 bit microcontrollers are widely used for energy-saving products like equipment for healthcare, audio, communication, mobile, and security, as well as home appliances and power tools.

The new LC87 compiler has been developed from the ground up, using Altium's highly efficient Viper "VX" compiler technology. Viper is a modern compiler technology fully developed and owned by Altium. The use of Viper technology guarantees compatibility to other popular TASKING toolsets, which have established a solid "proven in use" reputation with highly efficient and robust code for a wide range of applications.
