Datasheet

NEC Electronics today announced the availability of eight new All Flash microcontrollers (MCUs) for safing microcontroller applications as well as low-end automotive systems, such as motor control and lighting control applications. The new offering includes three 16-pin MCUs (78K0/FY2-L), three 20-pin MCUs (78K0/FA2-L) and two 30-pin MCUs (78K0/FB2-L), featuring the industry’s leading low standby power consumption of 0.65 µA, and capable of responding to all temperature environments.

As the demand for increased functionality in automotive systems accelerates, the number of electronic-control units in automobiles rise as well. Manufacturers are under intense pressure to cut costs even as they deliver more sophisticated electronics modules, creating a need for components that can enable more precise motor control at lower development costs and lower power consumption. NEC Electronics’ new MCUs address these needs and will help to reduce the development burden on automotive manufacturers.

Consumers also will benefit by having access to more sophisticated, eco-friendly products. Based on the same architecture as the company’s existing 8-bit 78K0 CPUs, the new MCUs are ideal as safing microcontroller for a larger main controller, and for electronic controls such as full-bridge control of high-density discharge (HID) lamps, full/half-bridge control of motor switching, switching control of solenoid drivers and pulse-width modulation (PWM) for LED dimming.
