Based on the successful 16LX series CPU, the new MB90F443F microcontroller from Glyn supports three CAN interfaces and will appeal to automotive engineers as the standard communication protocol used in dashboards, engine management systems and body control.
Also widely used in Industrial applications, the CAN macro conforms to specification version 2.0 Part A and B with transmission/reception in standard frame and extended frame formats.
Features and facilities include 16 transmit/receive message buffers with 29bit ID, 8byte data, multilevel message buffer, configuration acceptance mask registers for each message buffer and is programmable from 10Kbit/s to 2Mbit/s.
For applications requiring multiple on chip timers, a sister device, the MB90F443G, Flash based microcontroller, has a number of peripherals ideal for communications and control applications, including 3 serial communication channels and 10bit A/D convertor with 6.12us conversion time.
The MB90F443G has three 16bit timer channels, four output compare and eight input capture and four channels 8/16bit PPG.
With many low power modes including a 32kHz subclock, the MB90F443G is a very flexible solution for a wide range of applications.
Packaged in a standard 100-pin QFP, the development of the MB90F443G is supported by a Flash-CAN evaluation board, single-chip monitor debugger (which can be ported into the target application) and full real-time emulation system.
