High-speed MCUs with multiple packages and memory sizes
Toshiba has announced the launch of the second M3H group in the TXZ family of low-power, high-speed microcontrollers based on the Arm Cortex-M3 core. Toshiba launched the first M3H Group with 30 products for consumer and industrial device applications in May 2016, as the first group in the TXZ family. The newly launched second M3H group is again based on the de facto industry standard Arm Cortex-M3 core for embedded systems an...
Low-power MCUs see off security threats
Availability of the Microchip SAM L10 and SAM L11 Xplained Pro Evaluation Kits and associated MCUs has been announced by distributor Farnell element14. The devices are the industry’s lowest-power 32-bit MCUs as well as the first to offer chip-level security and Arm TrustZone Technology.
SoC module achieves memory bandwidths of up to 24GByte/sec
The Mercury XU5 SoC module from Enclustra is a powerful all-rounder. Based on the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, it features 6 ARM cores, a Mali 400MP2 GPU, up to 10GByte of extremely fast DDR4 SDRAM, numerous standard interfaces, 178 user I/Os and up to 256,000 LUT4 equivalents.
Extending interconnects beyond the 3nm technology node
At the annual Imec Technology Forum USA, in San Francisco, imec, the research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technology, reported on the potential of using ruthenium (Ru) as a disruptive interconnect material for three nanometres and beyond technology nodes.
SOM aimed for applications which require higher GPU performance
e-con Systems has announced the launch of its eSOMiMX6PLUS System-on-module. The eSOMiMX6PLUS System-On-Module is based on NXP’s i.MX6 QuadPlus processor family. e-con Systems already has dozens of customers in mass production using computer on modules, such as the eSOMiMX7, eSOMiMX6-micro, eSOMTK1, eSOMiMX6, eSOM3730 and eSOM270.
CIPs allow MCUs tasks to perform tasks in hardware
The ATmega4809 8-bit microcontroller from Microchip Technology is in stock at Mouser Electronics. The device introduces a new series of megaAVR microcontrollers designed to create highly responsive command and control applications.
Low power and tight security feature on MCUs
The recently launched SAM L10 and L11 microcontrollers from Microchip Technology are in stock at Mouser Electronics. The microcontrollers are based on a 32-bit ArmCortex-M23 core and feature picoPower technology to offer the industry’s lowest power consumption in their class. The SAM L11 variant adds integrated hardware security and is the first 32-bit microcontroller family to feature Arm TrustZoneTechnology.
Three-phase brushless motor controller enables easy switching
Toshiba Electronics has announced the launch of a new three-phase brushless fan motor controller IC for white goods that realises high efficiency drive and noise reduction. Conventionally, motor control is carried out by a microcontroller and an 8-pole rotor using a rotation-control signal that delivers three pulses per cycle.
Microcontroller delivers secure key storage and tamper detection
Manufacturers of security-sensitive industrial, consumer, computing and IoT devices now have a fast, efficient way to build in secure cryptographic operations, integrate key storage and enable active tamper detection with the MAX32558.
