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.
The camera module uses high-integration module technology to provide a CMOS sensor and camera signal-processing chip in a single compact package that is half the size of the previous Hitachi model.
The module offers a high sensitivity, 5lux minimum field illuminance, which enables photography in dim lighting, and high-quality image processing and colour reproduction.
This is achieved by using a high-precision A/D converter built into the CMOS sensor, combined with image processing and control technology.
The 16bit single-chip microcontroller in the camera signal processing device enables precise handling of image adjustment functions such as exposure control and smooth image processing in response to changes of scene.
Various functions can be controlled from an I2C bus, minimising camera system development times.
The camera module offers low power consumption of 48mW (at 15 frames per second) and upside down, reverse and left/right reverse functions.
It supports the CIF (Common Immediate Format) 352 x 288 worldwide common video format.
Sample shipments will begin in May 2002.
