Mono display enhanced for handheld applications
An enhanced version of Hitachi's popular 5.6 inch 1/4 VGA monochrome display is now available for use in industrial instrumentation and communications equipment.
Highest density for 32Mbit synchronous SRAMs
Three new 32Mbit synchronous SRAMs that give the highest density available in a single package are being introduced by design-in specialist GD Technik.
Integrating an AVR RISC engine, 128Kbyte Flash program memory, 4Kbyte RAM and 4Kbyte EEPROM together with a proven V2.0A/V2.0B CAN controller in a single chip, the new AT90CAN128 can handle 15 independent message objects, programmable on the fly.
Peripherals include 16bit timers with enhanced PWM, a powerful 10bit, eight-channel ADC and a selection of serial interfaces.
A wide operating range (2.7-5.5V) plus five low-power modes optimises power consumption.
Kim Allen, GD Technik Marketing Manager comments: "This the first AVR with on-chip CAN controller".
"Its ability to handle such a large number of message objects, programmable on-the-fly, combined with an unrivalled feature set means the AT90CAN128 gives designers a really compact and powerful solution for all their CAN designs".
The AT90CAN128 is pin compatible with the mega128.
It is available now in TQFP64 and QFN64 packages.
To help designers quickly realise CAN applications GD Technik is also offering Atmel's CAN physical interface module kit, the ATADAPCAN01 which, combined with the STK501 and STK500, provides a full development environment.
With the kit comes a C-code driver library for all peripherals including the CAN driver and various program examples.
