Press Release Summary:
Powered by 8FX CPU core, MB95330K 32-pin MCU series features 3-phase motor control timers. Embedded dual-operation flash memory with support for E2PROM emulation is standard, can be re-written 100,000 times, and will hold data for 20 years. To protect customer software from being read by unauthorized external programs, flash security function is also included. Other components include precise RC oscillator (±2%), low-voltage detection circuit, single-line on-chip debug, and I²C interface.
Original Press Release:
Fujitsu Announces New Series of Low Pin Count 8-bit MCUs for Motor Control
Langen and Nuremberg, Germany - Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe (FME) has expanded its F2MC-8FX family of low-cost, low pin count (LPC) microcontrollers (MCUs). MB95330K is the first Fujitsu 32-pin, 8-bit MCU series to feature motor control functionality. With fast processing, low power consumption and three-phase motor control timers, the devices are targeted for use in a wide range of industrial, medical and consumer applications.
The series is powered by Fujitsu's proprietary 8FX CPU core and features embedded dual-operation flash memory with support for E2PROM emulation. This allows a reduction in system area and system cost, as an external E2PROM is not required. Fujitsu's high quality, high-performance embedded flash memory can be re-written 100,000 times and is guaranteed to hold data for 20 years. A flash security function protects customers' software from being read by unauthorised external programs.
The precise RC oscillator (+/-2%) and low-voltage detection circuit built into the MCUs eliminate the need for an external oscillator and reset IC, thus contributing further to a reduction in overall system costs. The new series also employs single-line on-chip debug and includes an I2C interface.
The MB95330K series is part of Fujitsu's F2MC-8FX family, a complete family of LPC MCUs ranging from 8-pin up to 100-pin devices, and is scalable in terms of memory and feature set. Future devices are currently under design and will add features such as a peripheral for controlling LCDs.
Manufactured in Fujitsu's own wafer fabs in Japan, the 8FX devices are the successor to the company's highly successful 8L products.
The series will be supported by detailed and easy-to-access material on Fujitsu's website, including datasheets, manuals, application notes, example software, sensorless motor control library and C-library. Development is made easy with the compact and low-cost on-chip debugging tool and the free-of-charge C-language IDE - Softune.
Availability
The MB95330K series will feature derivatives in 32-pin LQFP, SDIP and QFN packages, and be available with 8, 12 or 20kB of flash memory and 240, 496 or 1008B of RAM. Engineering samples will be available from April 2010 with volume production starting in June 2010.
