Fujitsu has introduced a new series of 32-bit RISC microcontrollers based on the ARM CORTEX -M3 processor, expanding the frujitsu FM3 MCU to roughly 500 products in total. This new MCU series includes the MB9BF121JWQN model, which features low-pin-count QFN packaging and it is optimized for system control in household appliances, office automation systems and industrial equipment. The MCUs announced today are part of the FM3 basic group, which balances performance and cost.

As with all the FM3 Basic Group microcontrollers, the MB9B120J series features a broad supply of voltage range extending from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, the ability to deploy these MCU's in 5 V environments is an advantage for developers needing to consider rugged design models.

Complementing the hardware feature set, users also benefit from the various software packages and solutions provided by Fujitsu. These assure rapid project start-up and a fast time to market.

The series is available at operating speeds of up to 72 MHz, which is the ceiling for the FM3 Family’s Basic Group. Optimized peripheral functions make this series an optimal choice for applications requiring low-pin inverter control. These include general-use inverters and motors for low-end industrial equipment, as well as household appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines and induction cooking appliances. The series is also ideal for devices requiring a one-to-one motor-to-microcontroller system architecture. The functional core of the inverter is the “multi-function timer”, which includes sophisticated, flexible ADC trigger configurations, pulse-width modulation (PWM) and a waveform generator with dead time insertion. The ADC features 12-bit resolution and converts 1 million samples per second.
