9:51 AM Toshiba Launches Vector Engine Embedded Low-pin Count, Wide Pin-pitch Microcontrollers

New addition to the ARM Cortex™-M3 core-based TX03 series makes lower mounting costs possible TOKYO - Monday, April 15th 2013 [ME NewsWire] (BUSINESS WIRE)-- Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced that it will launch a vector engine embedded microcontroller with a low-pin count and wide pin pitch, which makes lower mounting costs possible, as the latest addition to the ARM Cortex™-M3 (Note1) core-based TX03 series line-up. Mass production of the new product "TMPM372" will start in May 2013. Toshiba has been developing the M370-group products with its vector engine for motor control and it is now in wide use in applications ranging from consumer products such as white goods to factory automation. As these products fall in price, the cost emphasis will extend beyond the main devices, such as microcontrollers, to include PCBs and related costs, including mounting costs. Flexibly meeting these requirements requires a variety of packages. The features of the new product "TMPM372FWFG" are the same as the existing vector engine low-pin count product "TMPM372FWUG", but changing the pin-pitch from 0.5 mm to 0.8 mm supports cost-effective flow-soldering. It also makes it possible to use single-layer PCBs and reduces the cost per area to less than half (Note2) that of two-layer PCBs. Toshiba will continue to make improvements in product performance and to expand its product line-up to meet the needs of customers for package variations meeting diverse mounting requirements. Applications White goods (such as washing machines, air conditioners and refrigerators), pumps, vending machines and automated teller machines (ATM).   Main Specifications Part number            TMPM372FWFG Sample price (including tax)            400 yen Production start            May 2013 Planned quantity of production            One million pieces per month Main specifications            CPU: Cortex™-M3        Maximum operating frequency: 80MHz        Built-in memory: Flash memory 128Kbytes, SRAM 6Kbytes        Communication I/F: SIO/UART 4 channels,        Vector engine: 1 unit        PMD: 1 channel        Encoder input: 1 channel        16-bit timer: 8 channels        AD converter: 12-bit successive-approximation-type 11 channels        Watchdog timer: 1 channel        Built-in oscillator: 1 unit        Frequency detecting circuit: 1 unit        Power-on reset circuit: 1 unit        Voltage detection circuit: 1 unit        Power-supply voltage: 4.5V to 5.5V (single power supply)        Package: LQFP64 (14mm x 14mm, 0.8mm pitch) Note            PMD: Programmable Motor Driver        1Kbyte is calculated as 1024 bytes.
