FUJITSU Introduces New High-Performance 8-bit Flash Microcontrollers

Fujitsu Microelectronics, available through Glyn High-Tech Distribution, has announced the launch of its new 8-bit Flash microcontrollers, MB95F146 and MB95F156H, for consumer electronics, security, and industrial control applications requiring high-speed and low-power consumption performance at low costs.

Fujitsu’s F2MC-8FX 8-bit microcontroller family, introduced since March 2004, has been widely used in various digital A/V and white goods products. Both MB95F146 and MB95F156H comes with 32K Flash, 1K RAM, two UARTs, eight 10-bit A/D channels, up to 9 multifunction Programmable Pulse Generator  8/16-bit timers, clock counter, watchdog timer, up to 8 external interrupts, and up to 24 and 39 I/O ports respectively. Both MCUs perform count operations at intervals up to one minute, providing the lowest possible power consumption in target applications. Both versions deliver execution times of 100ns at 10 MHz.

The MB95F156H also has an I2C interface and LCD controller (16 segments x 4 common pins) making it an ideal choice for applications requiring an LCD display such as portable radio equipment, remote control, air-conditioning systems and other applications.

The MB95F146 has a supply voltage of 1.8 to 3.6V and is available in 32-pin LQFP package. On the other hand, MB95F156H has a supply voltage of 2.5 to 5.5V and is available in 48-pin or 52-pin LQFP package.

The common evaluation board and full set of development tools for Fujitsu’s F2MC-8FX 8-bit microcontrollers are already available, thus all products in this family can be developed in a single evaluation environment.
