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.
As a result, the 128 x 8bit TC9WMB1FK and the 256 x 8bit TC9WMB2FK are around 50% smaller than current products housed in thin shrink small outline packages and miniature small outline packages.
The new memories are based on Toshiba's 0.6um EEPROM-embedded logic process technology and feature very low power consumption down to just 0.5uA in standby mode.
Each device will work with a power supply between 1.8 and 5.5V for read operations and between 2.3 and 5.5V for write operations.
Maximum operating frequency between 2.3 and 5.5V is 400kHz.
Offering both byte write and page (8byte) write modes, the TC9WMB1FK and TC9WMB2FK feature built-in write protection and are capable of write times as low as 10ms.
Data retention period is specified as ten years and the devices can handle 100,000 rewrite operations.
The TC9WMB1FK and TC9WMB2FK are rated for operation at temperatures from -40 to +85C.
