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.
"Hitachi's European metering customer base currently uses the 8bit H8/300L SLP (Super Low Power) product family", explains Joachim Huepper, high-end microcontroller Product Manager at Hitachi Europe.
"But many now find that their code size is increasing beyond the traditional 64Kbyte address range of these microcontrollers, especially for more sophisticated applications like polyphase meters.
The H8S/2268F will allow them to migrate to this memory size category whilst preserving their software investment".
The H8S/2268F is available in a 5V version running at 20MHz (50ns minimum instruction cycle) and in a 3V version running at 13MHz.
The device's peripheral set includes a sophisticated TPU timer unit featuring three channels of 16bit timers with up to eight input capture or output compare functions; three serial ports offering support for I2C and a subset of the smartcard standard ISO7816-3; a 10-channel 10bit resolution analogue/digital convertor and a two-channel 8bit digital/analogue convertor.
The device also features Hitachi's versatile pseudo DMA function data transfer controller (DTC) and has extensive low power support including a 32kHz subclock, which offers a power consumption of only 4uA in watch mode.
The H8S/2268F is available now in a 100-pin quad flatpack (FP-100B).
Two thin quad flatpack options will be available soon for applications with tough space restraints.
The device is supported by Hitachi's E6000 emulator and the EDK2268 evaluation kit.
