New 8-bit Flash microcontrollers
with low- pin- count from Fujitsu
The new 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) from Fujitsu Microelectronics
with low-pin-count series is targeted for cost-sensitive
wide range of consumer applications mainly home appliances.
The new MB95200 series is available in 8-24 pins packages
targeting home appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators,
ovens, smoke detectors, vacuum cleaners and air conditioning
units. The MCUs are also ideal for cordless phones and remote
controls, shavers and other handheld consumer products,
as well as aftermarket automotive accessories.
The other key features are,
High-performance flash memory with 100K write-operations
and has ability to hold data for 20 years.
Feature a security function to protect the customer's software
from being read by unauthorized external programs.
Dual-operation flash memory - The MCUs include Fujitsu
Microelectronics proprietary embedded dual-operation flash
memory, which emulates E²PROM. The memory contains
two regions, one for program storage, and the other for
data storage. Because it acts as a substitute for E²PROM,
the dual operation flash memory eliminates the need for
external E²PROM, reducing system area and system cost
(MB95260/270/280 Series).
Packs internal CR oscillating circuit (that runs the operating
clock) and the low-voltage detection circuit (that detects
a drop in voltage) inside the chip.
Composite timer provides flexibility for system requirements
- In the embedded "composite timer," a channel
can be selected from any one of the following, depending
on the program: pulse width modulation (PWM), pulse width
counter (PWC), interval timer or input capture. The latter
measures interval times, enabling the flexibility needed
to handle varying system requirements.
"The Fujitsu MB95200 series combines the proven performance
of the F²MC-8FX family with low power consumption and
pin counts," said Dean Chang, senior product marketing
manager, Fujitsu Microelectronics. "These MCUs are
excellent design choices for consumer products that can
take advantage of the products' high reliability and excellent
security. We are also providing a low-cost development environment
with on-chip debugging tools and complimentary C-language
IDE SOFTUNE design kits and tools, which makes working with
this new series easy and productive."
