EMBEDDED WORLD 2011, NUREMBERG BOOTH 568 HALL 12

Toshibas announces first ARM Cortex microcontrollers with on-chip USB Device Latest additions to 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 family to be showcased at Embedded World 2011
Dsseldorf, Germany, 14th January, 2011 Toshiba Electronics Europe will be using Embedded World 2010 to showcase its wide range of 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontrollers including the first members of its ARM Cortex-M3 family to feature onchip full-speed (12Mbps) USB-Device connectivity. Ideal for applications ranging from industrial control to office automation, the new TMPM366 devices are supported by hardware and software tools that will help embedded system designers to speed development and prototyping. Supplied in LQFP100 packaging, the TMPM366FDFG, TMPM366FYFG and TMPM366FWFG combine on-board Flash program memory with comparatively high levels of on-board RAM. Respective Flash/RAM capacities are 512Kbytes/64Kbytes, 256Kbytes/48KBytes and 128Kbytes/32Kbytes. An integrated static memory controller allows a further 16Mbytes of external memory to be added to embed designs without the need for additional components. All of the new microcontrollers incorporate a very fast 12-channel, 12-bit analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) with a conversion time of just 1s, a 10-channel, 16-bit timer and a

watchdog timer (WDT). As well as the single-channel USB-Device controller, the devices provide a 2-channel serial bus interface that can be configured for I2C or synchronous mode communication and a 3-channel synchronous serial interface (SSP). A 2-channel generalpurpose serial interface allows either UART mode or synchronous mode to be selected, while a built-in single-channel UART offers both UART and IrDA 1.0 support. Toshibas TMPM366 range operates with voltages from 2.7V to 3.6V and core frequencies of up to 48MHz and features an internal oscillator running at 10MHz.The ARM Cortex-M3 core allows designers to create highly efficient code and keep power consumption to a minimum. Each device has three levels of standby mode (IDLE, STOP1 and STOP2), while a clock gear function can divide the on-chip high-speed clock into 1/1, 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8. Development support for the new microcontrollers includes evaluation boards and starter kits that allow designers to create and test working programs and key functionality. ###
