Micro for digital consumer and industrial applications offers integrated USB controller, high-performance ADC and configurable serial interfaces
The latest 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller from Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) will reduce the component count of industrial and digital consumer applications where high performance, low power and USB functionality are key design requirements.
The TMPM365 integrates the ARM Cortex-M3 core, a USB device controller, a 12-channel analogue-to-digital converter (ADC), on-chip program and data memory, timers and configurable serial connectivity options into a BGA package measuring just 9mm × 9mm. Maximum processor speed is 48MHz and an integrated clock generator supports clock gearing of 1/1, 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8. Use of the low-power ARM core and high-efficiency NANOFLASH memory – as well as the availability of IDLE and STOP standby modes – all contribute to low power consumption in target application.
Compliant with USB 2.0, the single-channel USB device controller offers full-speed 12Mbps operation and supports eight endpoints. The 12-bit ADC offers high-speed 1µs conversion and can start up from an internal 16-bit timer or external trigger input. On-board memory comprises 256Kbytes of NANOFLASH ROM, 24Kbytes of SRAM and Boot ROM. A 2-channel DMA controller supports on-chip and external memory and peripheral I/O.
The TMPM365 incorporates a single-channel watchdog timer and a 10-channel 16-bit timer. Connectivity options include a general-purpose serial interface that can be configured for UART or synchronous mode operation and a 2-channel serial bus interface selectable between I2C and synchronous mode.
Toshiba’s new microcontroller has an input voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V when operating with the on-chip regulator or 3.0V to 3.45V when powered via USB. Rated operating temperature is –40°C to 85°C.
