MSC: new FM4 family of MCUs based on
ARM Cortex-M4F
In addition to Fujitsu’s FM3 microcontroller
family, MSC will offer Fujitsu’s new FM4
family of MCUs, which are based on the ARM
Cortex-M4F processor core. The new FM4
family consists of a total of 84 MCUs and is
suited for applications where the main re-
quirement is high processing power. The M4F
RISC processor core, which incorporates DSP
and floating point unit functions, is designed
ies of up to 160 MHz.
TI: JTAG emulator provides mid-range
option for embedded designs
Texas Instruments announced a new class of
JTAG emulator, the XDS200. This new emulator
can be utilized for hardware debugging, algo-
rithm development and programming on TI’s
embedded processors. Providing a great balance
of cost and performance, the XDS200 emulator
fits in the overall TI emulator portfolio between
the entry-level XDS100 JTAG emulator and
the XDS560v2 JTAG emulator with system
trace receiver. XDS200 JTAG emulators support
a USB connection to the host computer and
work with 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft
Windows and Linux operating systems.
Freescale: industrial-grade Kinetis
microcontrollers
New 5V Kinetis E series microcontrollers
designed for high performance in harsh elec-
tromagnetic environments; supported by the
Freescale Freedom development platform and
a broad enablement ecosystem for rapid
development Freescale Semiconductor is now
offering 5V 32-bit MCUs built on the ARM
Cortex-M0+ processor. The new Kinetis E
series MCUs feature electromagnetic noise
immunity for systems that traditionally use
8- and 16-bit MCUs, such as white goods and
industrial applications, while providing high
code density.
SiLabs: 8-bit MCU for cost-sensitive
motor control applications
Silicon Labs introduced highly integrated, fea-
ture-rich 8-bit microcontrollers optimized for
cost-sensitive motor control applications. The
new C8051F85x/6x MCUs combine best-in-
class analog and communications peripherals,
flash sizes ranging from 2 kB to 8 kB, high
performance, small-footprint packaging and
cost-effective pricing, making them ideal for
brushless dc motor control applications used
in remote-control helicopters and cars, PC
and electric fans, electric tools and small ap-
pliances. The F85/6x MCUs are a good fit for
other consumer and industrial applications
such as power supplies, battery chargers, set-
top boxes, projectors, lighting equipment and
optical transceiver modules. These AEC-Q100-
qualified MCUs can also be used in automotive
body electronics applications such as window
Mouser: Freescale Kinetis MCU with LCD
Controllers
Mouser Electronics has immediate stock avail-
ability of Freescale’s Kinetis L KL3/KL4 family
of flexible low-power MCUs with LCD con-
trollers with up to 376 segments. Freescale
has expanded their Kinetis L Series Microcon-
trollers to now include the Kinetis KL3 and
KL4 families. These new MCUs now include
flexible, low-power LCD controllers with up
to 376 segments (47 x 8 or 51 x 4). Their LCD
blink mode enables low average power while
ode.
ARM acquires Advanced Display
Technology from Cadence
ARM and Cadence Design Systems have signed
a definitive agreement for the sale and transfer
of Cadence PANTA display controller cores to
ARM. The agreement enhances the companies’
long-standing ecosystem collaboration and
strengthens their technical alignment. Cadence’s
PANTA family of high-resolution display
processor and scaling coprocessor IP cores
was co-developed in conjunction with ARM
and is targeted at advanced multimedia
applications for high-end mobile devices with
mption.
Holtek: 0.9V low voltage standard flash
MCU series
Holtek announces its new 0.9V Low Voltage
standard flash MCU, HT66F01xL series, which
by incorporating integrated power manage-
ment IC functions are especially designed for
single-cell battery applications. By integrating
the usually required peripheral circuits, these
new devices offer the advantages of reduced
component area, simplified components and
reduced battery count, allowing them to meet
the needs of today’s environmentally friendly
products. These new devices with the part
numbers, HT66F016L and HT66F017L, pro-
vide a flexible range of integrated user func-
Holtek: 8051 A/D flash type MCU series
with high noise immunity
Holtek announces the release of its new 8051
A/D Flash series MCUs which include the
HT85F2280, HT85F2270 and HT85F2260 de-
vices. The complete series has an operating
voltage of 2.2V to 5.5V and meets with the in-
dustrial specification requirements of -40 ~
