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.
Operating across the full automotive temperature range, the new IC will help designers to address demands to increase functionality while reducing the drain on vehicle batteries.
In addition to lowering power consumption, the TB9000F also includes a number of built-in features that will help the automotive engineer to save space and reduce component count in their designs.
These features include internal system reset functions such as low voltage and power on reset, a watchdog timer and an adjustable current limiter.
The watchdog timer can be disabled for applications that do not require this function.
Supplied in a miniature SSOP 16-pin package, the TB9000F automotive voltage regulator IC will operate between -40 and +125C and can handle a maximum input voltage of 50V.
