The M3H group is based on the ARM Cortex-M core, the recognised standard for embedded 32-bit MPUs, and incorporates high-performance analogue circuits and the wide range of basic functions required to support comprehensive motor control, consumer and industrial device applications. The line-up includes low-pin-count packages (32- to 100-pin) and small flash memory sizes (32 to 128kB). The devices operate at up to 40Mhz.
Integrated features include a high-precision 12-bit ADC with a 1.5s conversion speed and an 8-bit DAC. The M3H group also features Toshiba’s Programmable Motor Drive (PMD) that is suitable for inverter motor control, including AC and BLDC motor control; and versatile general-purpose peripheral circuits including UART, I2C, TSPI and timers. Incorporation of these highly precise analogue circuits and general-purpose peripheral circuits allows the M3H group to achieve low-power characteristics and high level functionality at the same time.
Samples of the 30 products in the M3H group of MCUs will start shipping in May 2016.
