MCUs have a huge 32Kbyte of RAM on-chip
Hitachi Europe has announced the immediate availability of a new series of 16bit microcontrollers featuring 32Kbyte on-chip RAM - the first in the industry to do so.
Most integrated GSM RF transceiver so far
Hitachi has launched its most integrated GSM RF transceiver solution to date.
The H8S/2214F offers 128Kbyte embedded Flash memory, 12Kbyte RAM and a basic peripheral set to minimise cost in comparison with other members of Hitachi's H8S/22xx series.
The device has a low power consumption of just 20mA (typical) at full speed and is pin compatible with Hitachi's H8S/2238F microcontroller.
It offers 62.5ns minimum instruction cycle at 3.3V/16MHz.
The optional CSP package caters for volume mass production of compact, low power systems that are cost sensitive but require the flexibility of embedded Flash memory.
The 112-ball CSP (TBP-112) measures just 10mm per side with a ball pitch of 0.8mm.
It can be processed using conventional industry soldering procedures and equipment.
The H8S/2214F is also available in two TQFP packages.
The device features a four channel DMA and a DTC (a versatile pseudo DMA function), which remove data movement tasks from the CPU.
This allows the CPU to concentrate on its primary task of calculations.
Other peripherals include three serial ports, one of which has a special high-speed asynchronous mode, a three channel 16bit timer module and a watchdog timer.
The device has 72 IO pins, some of which have Schmitt trigger characteristics, interrupt capability and programmable pull-ups.
The H8S/2214F is supported by Hitachi's E6000 emulator and Lauterbach's Trace32-FIRE.
Samples are available immediately in all three package options.
