NEC expand its MCU lineup with 78 new 32-bit MCUs with on-chip flash memory

NEC Electronics has introduced 78 new 32-bit All Flash V850ES/Jx3 series microcontrollers (MCUs) with low power consumption, optimized pin counts and expanded functionality. The new MCUs are suitable for compact, battery-driven systems such as polyphase electricity meters and handheld terminals, connected devices such as USB2.0 PC peripherals and healthcare equipment, and industrial Ethernet systems.

NEC Electronics says that the new lineup MCUs enable easy migration of software and hardware for the system designers, contributing to fast time-to market for system designers at low cost. The new MCUs operates at 20 MHz, the new V850ES/Jx3-L MCUs require only 0.9 milliwatts per million instructions per second (mW/MIPS), offering approximately 60 percent reduction over the existing MCUs that require 1.7 mW/MIPS.

The key features of the V850ES/Jx3 MCUs are,

Include up to 512 kilobytes (KB) of flash memory and optional on-chip USB 2.0 controllers
Consumes only about 0.7 µA during standby mode (when real-time counter is operating) Offers RTC with independent power supply pins and increased number of serial interfaces.

With the addition of the new chips, the V850ES/Jx3 series now includes 117 MCUs with flash memory ranging from 16 KB to 1 megabyte, packages from 40 to 144 pins and also includes USB2.0 Host & Function in the V850ES/Jx3-H and V850ES/Jx3-U series, and embedded Ethernet MAC in the V850ES/Jx3-E series.
