NEC Electronics, represented by Soanar - Electronic Component & Supply Chain Solutions , supplier of 32-bit microcontrollers, have developed nine new 32-bit All Flash microcontrollers (MCUs) with built-in Ethernet interface and embedded flash memory. The new products are suitable for remote and supervisory control of industrial devices and building-management systems and include six 128-pin variants, named V850ES/JH3-E and three 144-pin variants, named V850ES/JJ3-E.
Following are the features of the new 32-bit All Flash microcontrollers:
- Integrated Ethernet media access controller (MAC) channel, eliminating the need for an external Ethernet controller
- High performance CPU core, the V850ES/Jx3 family of MCUs can execute 103 Dhrystone million instructions per second (MIPS) at a clock speeds of 50 MHz
- Up to 512KB of flash memory and up to 124KB of random access memory (RAM), making it possible to run network software using on-chip memory alone
- Peripheral functions including full speed USB 2.0 interface and CAN interface
- Network software, NEC Electronics provide a wide array of network software, including an optimised Ethernet driver, and a lightweight transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) stack
NEC Electronics believe this new line-up of MCUs to be optimised for creating networked products in such fields as industrial Ethernet applications, I/O converters and modules, industrial routers and hubs, test and measurement equipment, security control panels, utility meters, and connected industrial motor drives, and plans to market them actively.
