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 new range includes the H8/3062BF, Hitachi's most cost effective 16bit Flash microcontroller, which boasts the popular memory combination of 128Kbyte Flash/4Kbyte RAM.
Also available is the H8/3008, a ROMless equivalent of the H8/3062BF; the H8/3064BF, which features a memory upgrade path to 256Kbyte Flash/8Kbyte RAM; and the H8/3068F, which offers a memory upgrade path to 384Kbyte Flash/16Kbyte RAM as well as a four channel DMA controller and a third SIO (USART).
The new devices operate at 25MHz/5V and feature a peripheral set that includes three 16bit timers, four 8bit timers, a watchdog timer, an eight channel 10bit A/D convertor, a two channel 8bit D/A convertor, two USARTs and 79 I/O lines.
The microcontrollers are supported by the new EVB3068F evaluation kit, which comprises all the necessary hardware and software for full evaluation of the devices.
The kit includes an evaluation board in a solid metal case, an RS232 cable and manual for the H8/3068F, the board and accompanying software.
The software suite contains the Hitachi Embedded Workshop (HEW) build environment, demonstration versions of relevant C compilers, the Hitachi Debugging Interface (HDI-M) and a Flash Development Toolkit (FDT).
The evaluation board is connected to the detachable Universal Programming Board (UPB), which can be also used stand-alone in combination with the FDT to allow full control of on-chip Flash programming together with customer hardware.
The FDT software kit also provides Flash programming routines in source code, which can be re-used by the customer for their specific application.
The H8/3062BF, H8/3008, H8/3064BF, H8/3067F, H8/3068F, the EVB3068F evaluation board and E6000 emulator support are all available immediately.
