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.
First 7.7-inch low-temp polysilicon LCD for eBooks
Toshiba today announced commercialisation of a 7.7-in low-temperature polysilicon TFT LCD designed for mid-size electronic book devices incorporating Microsoft ClearType display technology
TC74VCX package options include industry-standard 56-, 48-, 20-, 16- and 14-pin TSSOP (package suffix FT), whereas TC7MA devices are available in the latest US16 and US20 package styles (package suffix FK).
With footprints up to 30% smaller than equivalent TVSOP and TSSOP packages, Toshiba's US16 and US20 devices are the industry's smallest and thinnest 16- and 20-pin CMOS logic components.
The new 1.2V family offers a range of standard logic functions that includes gates, bus buffers, bus transceivers, latches and flip-flops.
All the new devices are guaranteed for operation between 1.2 and 3.6V.
Overvoltage-tolerant inputs and outputs allow the parts to operate as an interface between different supply voltages in the same system.
In addition, each device incorporates a power-down-protected I/O structure that means signals can be applied to any I/O pin during both normal operation and power-down modes.
Toshiba, along with Fairchild Semiconductor and ON Semiconductor, is a member of the Low-Voltage Logic Alliance (www.LvLAlliance.com) and is the first member of the alliance to announce 1.2V logic parts.
