The new TMPA911CRAXBG brings together a low-power, 32-bit ARM926EJ-S core running at 150MHz with a variety of integrated peripherals and connectivity options including comprehensive functions for the control of display panels. These features, coupled with an operating temperature range of -20°C to +85°C, make the microcontroller ideal for multimedia and HMI applications targeted at industrial environments.
The TMPA911CRAXBG features a built-in LCD controller, a touch screen interface and an LCD data processor accelerator (LCDA). The LCD controller is suitable for TFT and STN display sizes up to 1024 x 768 pixels. The LCDA supports resolutions to WVGA (800×480) and delivers image scaling, filtering and blending functions as well as real time processing for movies. A CMOS image sensor interface simplifies the implementation of applications requiring image capture.
Toshiba has incorporated 56Kbytes of built-in embedded RAM for program, data and display memory, Boot ROM, and a memory controller that supports SDR and DDR SDRAM. Up to 2.5Gbytes of linear access space can be addressed. Connectivity options include SPI, UART, I2C, I2S, and a high-speed USB device (480Mbps). Additional built-in peripherals include a 10-bit ADC, a six-channel, 16-bit timer, a watchdog timer, real time clock and alarm functionality.
Supplied in a 361-pin FPGA package the TMPA911CRAXBG is pin-compatible and software-compatible with other members of the Toshiba TMPA910 family of 32-bit ARM926EJ-S™-based microcontrollers. The result is true scalability, ensuring an upgrade path to faster processor speeds, improved performance and additional connectivity options – including the addition of SD card interfaces – with minimum system redesign.
In addition to extensive software support that includes graphics libraries and embedded operating systems, the new device is supported through the availability of a Starter Kit and Reference Platform that further speed application development and prototyping.
