High-brightness LEDs are smaller and more frugal
Toshiba has launched two new series of surface mount LEDs that combine high-brightness, low-current operation with one of the industry's smallest LED packages.
The low-voltage, low-power consuming TMP91FW40FG 16bit MCU combines 128Kbyte of Flash memory and 4Kbyte of RAM with an anti-hypertensive-type LCD driver that can directly drive from 8 to 40 segments by four commons.
The high-speed MCU is based on Toshiba's ultra-low-power TLCS-900/L1 processor core and operates with voltages between 2.2 and 3.6V.
The minimum instruction execution time is only 148ns at 27MHz.
Overall power consumption is further reduced by a dual clock and three standby modes, including a programmable idle option.
It also offers an integrated four-channel 10bit analogue-to-digital convertor (ADC), a four-channel 8bit timer, a three-channel 16bit timer and a real-time clock with a calendar function.
I/O functions include a four-channel SIO/UART and 61 I/O ports.
Packaging is a compact 100-pin LQFP package with dimensions of 14 x 14mm with 0.50mm pitch.
A mask ROM version (TMP91CW40FG) is also available.
The TMP91FW60FG/DFG 16bit MCU combines 128Kbyte of Flash memory and 8Kbyte of RAM.
This low-power MCU is based on Toshiba's TLCS-900/L1 processor core has operating voltage of 4.5 to 5.5V and a minimum instruction execution time of 200ns at 20MHz.
It also provides an integrated 16-channel 10bit ADC, a sic-channel 8bit timer, a five-channel 16bit timer and a real-time clock with a calendar function.
I/O functions include a three-channel SIO/UART, two-channel I2C/SIO and 83 I/O ports.
As well, it incorporates six banks of program-patch logic.
Packaging options consist of a 100-pin LQFP package with dimensions of 14 x 14mm with 0.50mm pitch (TMP91FW60FG) or a 100-pin QFP package with dimensions of 14 x 20mm with 0.65mm pitch (TMP91FW60DFG).
A mask ROM version (TMP91CW60FG/DFG) is also available.
The TMP92FD23FG/AFG 32bit MCU combines 512Kbyte of Flash memory and 32Kbyte of RAM.
The high-speed, high-performance MCU is based on Toshiba's TLCS-900/H1 processor core and operates with voltages between 3.0 and 3.6V.
The minimum instruction execution time is only 50ns at 20MHz.
It also offers an integrated 12-channel 10bit ADC, a six-channel 8bit timer, a two-channel 16bit timer and a real-time counter.
I/O functions include a three-channel SIO/UART, a two-channel I2C interface, a three-channel IrDA version 1.0 interface, and 84 I/O ports.
Additional onboard memory includes 4Kbyte of mask ROM for booting; external memory expansion to 16Mbyte is fully supported.
Packaging options consist of a 100-pin P-LQFP package with dimensions of 14 x 14mm with 0.50mm pitch (TMP92FD23FG) or a 100-pin P-QFP package with dimensions of 14 x 20mm with 0.65mm pitch (TMP92FD23AFG).
A mask ROM version (TMP92CY23FG/AFG) is equipped with 256Kbyte of ROM and 16Kbyte of RAM and has a built-in ROM correction function.
Toshiba's SuperFlash implementation can be programmed much faster than many alternative Flash technologies.
The availability of three distinct programming modes - parallel, serial PROM, and in-system programming (ISP) - provides pre- and post-production programming flexibility.
ISP mode allows upgrades and fixes in the field under control of the user program.
This removes the need to switch off the output to an LCD panel or active output controls.
Samples of all of these devices are available now and they are in volume production.
