Combining a new 16LX processor core with a wide range of peripheral functions, the MB90F394G MCU from Glyn features high operating frequencies and a high performance/power-consumption ratio.

Combining a new 16LX processor core with a wide range of peripheral functions, the MB90F394G MCU from Glyn features high operating frequencies, with a CPU cycle time of only 50ns and a high performance/power-consumption ratio.

The MB90F394G is also very efficient with C code.

The MB90F394G incorporates a clock modulator circuit to reduce the high noise emission peaks associated with increased CPU frequencies.

This feature enhances value in applications like auto dashboard controls, where low EMI emissions must be combined with high performance.

The controller also includes dashboard-specific peripherals, including a sound generator, an 18bit time-base timer and high current output ports for directly driving six stepper motors.

The integrated 384 to 512Kbit Flash memory macro requires no additional programming voltage and offers a write/erase life of 10,000 cycles.

The timer structure of the MB90F394G includes six channels of programmable pulse generators, six input capture units, eight-channel output compare and six additional PWM channels with slew rate control for the high current output ports.

The device, which provides 96 I/Os, interfaces to off-chip peripherals through two full CAN interfaces, one serial I/O and three UARTs, including a special LIN UART.
