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 LEM3664 incorporates a USB interface and cable, a target connector and an onboard 16MHz H8/3664H microcontroller, providing EVB like facilities.
It has three modes of operation: standalone EVB mode; E10T mode, using the target connector; and emulator mode, using a built in mini-dip header or external QFP header.
The E10T debug interface supports a high-speed serial link between the microcontroller and LEM3664.
Each Tiny series microcontroller also has an on-chip breakpoint controller and trace buffer which allow applications to be downloaded to the flash memory and debugged in the users target application.
The module supports the Hitachi debug interface (HDI), a Windows-based source-level debugger, allowing applications to be debugged at both C and assembly level.
The HDI allows access to LEM3664 features, including C watch points, C and instruction level trace, breakpoints and flash programming, using a comprehensive Windows 98 or Windows 2000 environment.
The new emulation module also comes complete with a full C compiler for the Tiny Series and the Hitachi embedded workshop (HEW) development environment.
Software upgrades will extend the support of the emulation module to other members of the Tiny series family including H8/3672F, H8/3687F and H8/3694F microcontrollers.
