Leo aims at European navigation applications
Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe is releasing its Leo FR-V (Fujitsu RISC-VLIW) chip, based on the FR-V architecture announced last year.
The rewritable memory function offers a big advantage due to the frequent need for changing programs at each stage of development, evaluation and mass-production, and also because of slight changes in software specifications for each type of equipment.
As the guaranteed number of erase cycles for all Fujitsu Flash microcontrollers is well over the 10,000 range, these devices are also perfectly suitable in cases when the application requires non-volatile storage for data acquired during application run-time.
To make Flash programming as easy as possible, the Flash-kit programmer solution allows in-system programming of target CPUs, which means that no additional Hardware is needed for programming on user target boards.
In comparison with the old RS232-based in-system programming utilities, the Flash-kit programmer also greatly reduces programming time by exploiting the synchronous serial programming mode of Fujitsu CPUs, which enables transfer of user data at speeds up to 500Kbit/s.
The Flash-kit programmer consists of an MS Windows 9x/NT/2000 compatible PC software front-end and a small programming box, which is needed for high-speed synchronous programming.
This box can communicate with the PC via serial or parallel ports.
Moreover, the PC software front-end can also be used without the box in asynchronous serial programming mode. Request a free brochure from Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe ...
