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 device is ideal for many applications where power consumption is critical.
The H8/38024F incorporates 32Kbyte of Flash memory that can be programmed and erased with a single power supply.
This enables onboard modification of control programs and system adjustment data for shorter system development times.
The device operates at a maximum frequency of 10MHz using a 3V power supply, and offers a wide variety of on-chip peripherals including a 32kHz subclock, sophisticated timers, a special asynchronous timer, watchdog timer, asynchronous/synchronous serial interface, 10bit analogue/digital convertor, 32 x 4 LCD controller/driver and high-current pins.
The new device is supported by the E6000 real-time in-circuit emulator and the E10T, a low cost in-circuit debugging system.
The E6000 has 4Mbyte of emulation RAM, 256 PC break points and 12 cascadable and complex hardware break points (events).
It also includes a 32Kcycle and 80bit wide trace buffer with acquisition and display filtering, execution time measurement and four user logic probes, which can also be used to trigger hardware events.
The E10T uses the on-chip debug facility of the microcontroller to provide the user with the ability to fully debug their application in the target system.
A low cost evaluation board, the EDK38024, is also available, providing the ideal platform for evaluating the performance of the microcontroller.
The EDK38024 has an onboard H8/38024F, enabling an application to be downloaded to its on-chip Flash, as well as serial and E10T interfaces and a small LCD display.
The board comes complete with evaluation copies of HEW, the Hitachi Embedded Workshop, and of a C compiler and debugger.
The H8/38024F is available in two 80-pin quad flat packages, the 14 x 14mm QFP-80A and the 14 x 20mm QFP-80B, as well as a 12 x 12mm 80-pin thin quad flat package, the TQFP-80C.
