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.
Despite its small size, the device integrates the CPU core along with ROM, RAM, a timer/counter, a watchdog timer, an 8bit A/D convertor and an interrupt controller.
Based on the TLCS-870/C series core, the TMP86P202 operates at frequencies up to 8MHz and features powerful instruction sets using 731 basic instructions.
Supply voltage for the new microcontroller is rated at 4.5 to 5.5V, while one stop and two idle modes serve to minimise power consumption.
Toshiba's TMP86P202 offers 16 I/O pins, two of which are for high current outputs of typically 20mA.
Onboard memory comprises 2K x 8bit of ROM and 128 x 8bit of RAM.
The two onboard 8bit timers provide a PPG or PWM output, event counter input and can be configured for 16bit timer operation.
Additionally a four channel 8bit A/D convertor is available.
Built-in interrupt handling allows the designer to use eight internal and three external interrupts.
