Microcontroller meets needs of modern appliances
Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched a flash microcontroller specifically designed to meet the needs of modern home appliance applications including washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers.
Maximum voltage ratings are 30 or 40V, depending on the device chosen.
Toshiba has designed the series to include devices optimised for key design criteria such as low standby current or minimum power loss, as well as devices that offer the best compromise between the two.
The range includes the CMS01, which is rated at 3A forward current and 30V repetitive peak reverse voltage and is designed for a maximum low forward voltage drop of 0.37V at 3A.
The CMS02 is engineered for very low maximum reverse current of 0.5mA at 30V, whereas the CMS11 and CMS09 deliver a balance of forward voltage drop and reverse current properties.
The M-Flat package has a footprint of 4.7 x 2.4mm and features standard pad sizes and spacing, allowing designers to retain existing PCB layouts.
A total package height of 0.98mm enables designers to increase power density and reduce enclosure size.
