Available now free from Sunrise Electronics is a new CD featuring all the latest information on NEC's extensive range of microcontroller families and development tools.
The 78K0/Kx2 Series is targeted for use in a wide range of home appliances, consumer electronics, industrial equipment, automotive systems, lighting systems and sensors.
The 78K0/Kx2 Series employs SuperFlash technology licensed from Silicon Storage Technology (SST), and is manufactured using a 0.15-micron process technology.
The 78K0/Kx2 Series offers operating speeds of up to 20MHz and power supply voltages from 1.8 to 5.5V.
Operating current is reduced to 2.5mA - less than one-third of similar mask ROM microcontrollers.
Features like these make the series ideal for industrial systems needing high performance and for applications that require the lowest power consumption.
Moreover, all these features are available without a cost premium, as products in the 78K0/Kx2 Series have comparable prices to previous mask ROM products from NEC manufactured in 0.35-micron process technology.
The 78K0/Kx2 Series is the latest step in the evolution of NEC's K-Line.
The product line was first launched in 2003 with the announcement of the 78K0/Kx1 Series, and it has since been adopted very successfully by the consumer electronics, industrial equipment and other market areas.
In 2004, NEC the company unveiled the 78K0S/Kx1+ Series of low pin count microcontrollers with single voltage Flash memory in the K-Line.
Sunrise also offers design support, together with a range of cost effective tools such as an on-chip debugger and Flash programmer, that will help reduce customers' time and cost for programming, and will enable much shorter turnaround times compared with similar mask ROM products.
