Fujitsu expands FM3 32-bit MCUs with new MB9B120J series
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 ba...
STMicroelectronics Announce Entry-Level STM32F4 Series Microcontroller
STMicroelectronics have today announced the new STM32F401 class-leading microcontroller featuring the ARM Cortex-M4 32-bit/DSP core. While running at lower frequency than other STM32F4 devices, it balances performance, power consumption and integration and claims the lead in its class by offering 105DMIPS at 84MHz, 187µA/MHz active current, 11µA typical STOP current, and a rich set of integrated features.
Fujitsu Significantly Updates FM3 Family of 32-bit Microcontrollers for a Total of 570 Products
Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited today announced the launch of an upgraded lineup of its FM3 Family of 32-bit general-purpose RISC microcontrollers based on the ARM Cortex-M3 processor core. In total, Fujitsu Semiconductor is releasing 38 new products, including the MB9BF529TPMC, which is equipped with high-capacity memory, and the MB9BF121JPMC, which features low pin count packaging.
DP8051 – (even more) fast & configurable 8051
The DP8051 is the 5th consecutive uncover of the 8051 IP Cores in Digital Core Design’s portfolio. Like its kinsfolk, it’s described by simplicity, high efficiency and performance. But unlike the competitive designs, it runs Dhrystone 2.1 benchmark program 11.46 to 15.55 times faster, which means, that this Pipelined RISC architecture executes up to 300 million instructions per second.
LAPIS Semiconductor’s New Mini LP Micros Optimized for Embedded System Control
LAPIS Semiconductor is pleased to introduce the ML610Q1xx series of low-cost, feature-rich, low-power microcontrollers. The new Mini Low Power Microcontrollers are especially well suited for embedded applications requiring a very small microcontroller that provides high computational performance and dedicated control functions, yet consumes a minimal amount of power.
XMOS launches xCORE-Analog industrial multicore microcontrollers
XMOS today launches xCORE-Analog, a range of 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16-core multicore microcontrollers optimized specifically for designers of industrial products.
