NEC Electronics Europe announces All Flash Demonstration Kit

The V850ES/Jx3-L Demonstration Kit is an extension of NEC Electronics’ high-performance All Flash™ product line targeted for low power applications, which supports on-board debugging, flash programming and real time execution of application programs. The board contains hardware elements to easily demonstrate simple I/O-functions such as timer input/output, push buttons, 7-segment LED, ADC reference voltage, UART and other serial interfaces as well as a connection to external user’s hardware for custom tests. A number of demonstration projects are included in the kit. These will help developers to rapidly evaluate the microcontroller and the board from different aspects.

The flexibility of the V850ES/Jx3-L All Flash demonstration kit combined with a number of demonstration projects included in the kit enable developers to rapidly evaluate the V850ES/JG3-L microcontroller and experiment with its peripherals as well as hastily prototype a design.

NEC Electronics has achieved 32-bit performance with 16-bit power consumption in the recently launched 32-bit V850ES/Jx3-L microcontroller. The class-leading power consumption of the chip is 50% lower than in the existing microcontrollers from NEC Electronics. The MCU benefits from a 5-20MHz high performance 32-bit V850 core with the support of a hardware multiplier to efficiently perform arithmetic functions and quickly process large amounts of data. It includes a number of flexible serial channels for different types of serial communications, an external bus interface to support Mega Bytes of extra memory in addition to up to 256KB of Flash and 16KB of RAM. In addition it offers a number of independent DMA channels and an abundance of different timers on chip. The analog support on the MCU offers 12 channels of 10-bit A/D conversion and two channel 8-bit DACs. The MCU operates on a wide range of voltages and temperatures, and comes in different packages.
