Toshiba Launches New Microcontrollers for Smart Devices
8 Oct
Summary
- Toshiba's new microcontrollers feature an Arm Cortex-M4 core with FPU.
- Designed for consumer products like air conditioners and industrial equipment.
- Operate at speeds up to 120MHz, ensuring real-time performance.
Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has initiated mass production of its TXZ+™ Family Entry-Class M4H Group standard microcontrollers. These new devices are equipped with an Arm® Cortex®-M4 core and a floating-point unit (FPU), designed to provide essential system control functions for consumer products and industrial equipment.
Targeting applications like air conditioners, washing machines, and factory automation systems, these microcontrollers operate at speeds up to 120MHz. This ensures robust computing performance and real-time responsiveness required for complex control logic and interface processing. The M4H Group also supports a wide supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, integrating a high-speed oscillator for enhanced design flexibility and reduced external components.
Key integrated functions include a 12-bit ADC, various timers, UART, SPI, I²C interfaces, and DMA. Notably, they feature an Advanced Programmable Motor Control circuit (A-PMD) for brushless DC motor control. Toshiba is also providing comprehensive support with sample software, driver software, and plans for evaluation boards to aid customer development from initial stages through mass production.
