Visitors to the Embedded World 2007 Exhibition and Conference in Nuremberg will be able to see Toshiba Electronics Europe's latest microcontrollers.

Visitors to the Embedded World Exhibition and Conference in Nuremberg will be able to see Toshiba Electronics Europe's latest microcontrollers, including those with embedded Flash memory, an extensive range of motor control solutions and the Capricorn intelligent automotive display controller The motto of Toshiba's stand is "embedded action"

Toshiba's microcontroller unit (MCU) portfolio has recently been extended with 8, 16 and 32bit families that will be on show.

Focus products include an 8bit family based on a new core with high speed processing and up to 128Kbyte of embedded Flash - a starter kit will also be shown.

For applications requiring a low cost, compact solution with colour display support, such as in home appliances, building control and industrial controls, an 80MHz 32bit MCU with an embedded LCD controller simplifies development while reducing component count and halving power consumption.

An associated software package includes an array of tools including GUI, speech synthesis and MP3/JPEG decoders.

A wide range of peripherals is supported.

Also on show will be Toshiba's embedded Flash MCU line including starter kits and software development tool-chain and software library.

Of particular interest will be Toshiba's first 16bit SuperFlashTM based MCU with onboard LCD driver and a new 32bit MCU with 512Kbyte of Flash and an embedded USB 2.0 host controller.

A complete reference model for connectivity to SD cards and USB memory sticks and music players is also available.

To steer engineers through Toshiba's broad range of motor control ASSPs, a new CD-ROM product selection guide will be available at the show.

This will cover everything from a single bridge driver for a brushed motor design, or sensorless solution for a brushless DC motor, to a microstepping control system for a stepper motor.

Focus products will include: a single chip inverter IC that simplifies BLDC development by combining a three-phase IGBT and control unit in a single package; and a motor driver ASSP with integrated LIN controller and driver designed for automotive applications such as headlamp and HVAC flap control.
