#85228 - DS80C400?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
- do you really need so big memory? Do you will ever need MORE than this (expandability)?

up to 16M in "flat" mode (3-byte DPTR, the memory "feels" like normal XRAM/program memory)

- has this be fast for reading, fast for writing?

At 70MIPS or so, no worry.

- is processor execution power precious?

Takes several cycles, but out of the 70something MIPS speed.

- are there many spare pins on the mcu?

Out of the 6 ports, still quite a few free pins remain.

- is price an issue?

Yes.

- is it board space/device volume critical?

LQFP100. Damned unpleasant for "hand made" devices but reasonably small.

- how fast after power-up should this be ready to run?
- The unit would boot from on-chip code memory

Sorry, unless the built-in OS/TCP stack is what you want. No internal programmable flash. A part of the external RAM must contain the program.
