Fujitsu has expanded its F2MC-8FX family of low-cost, low pin count microcontrollers. MB95330K is the first Fujitsu 32-pin, 8-bit MCU series to feature motor control functionality. With fast processing, low power consumption and three-phase motor control timers, the devices are targeted for use in a wide range of industrial, medical and consumer applications.
The series is powered by Fujitsu’s proprietary 8FX CPU core and features embedded dual-operation flash memory with support for E2PROM emulation. This allows a reduction in system area and system cost, as an external E2PROM is not required. A flash security function protects customers’ software from being read by unauthorised external programs.
The precise RC oscillator and low-voltage detection circuit built into the MCUs eliminate the need for an external oscillator and reset IC, thus contributing further to a reduction in overall system costs. The new series also employs single-line on-chip debug and includes an I2C interface. The MB95330K series will feature derivatives in 32-pin LQFP, SDIP and QFN packages, and be available with 8, 12 or 20kB of flash memory and 240, 496 or 1008B of RAM.
