Highly Integrated Controller Has Rich Assortment of Built-in Peripherals That
Make It Well Suited for a Wide Range of Performance-Driven Applications
SAN JOSE, Calif., Embedded Systems Conference, April 3 /PRNewswire/ --
Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)* today announced the
availability of a new 32-bit complex instruction set computer (CISC)
microcontroller (MCU) that runs at 80 megahertz (MHz) internally to achieve
40 million instructions per second (MIPS) computing performance with power
consumption of only 80 milliwatts (mW). The company said this is the best
processing performance and lowest power consumption of any MCU in this product
category based on a Toshiba-original benchmark test. Designated TMP92CZ26AXBG
and equipped with 288 kilobytes (KB) of random access memory (RAM), the highly
integrated device is targeted at a wide range of applications, including
mobile devices. TAEC will be displaying the device in booth #1510 at the
Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley 2006 here this week.
"Toshiba is continuing to invest in its proprietary CISC architecture and
is migrating its products to 0.18-micron process technology to reap higher
integration and performance gains. Our second product of a planned family,
the TMP92CZ26AXBG attains the industry's highest performance and lowest power
consumption in its product category," said Roland Gehrmann, business
development manager in the ASSP Business Unit at TAEC.
Based on 0.18-micron process technology, the new device integrates
Toshiba's high-speed 32-bit TLCS-900/H1 central processing unit (CPU) core
that supports multiple real-time tasks simultaneously. An on-chip
phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit converts external signals to the CPU's
internal clock rate of 80MHz, achieving 40 MIPS performance and low power
consumption of approximately 80mW when the RAM is operating at room
temperature and running at 1.5 volts (V).
The built-in, large capacity RAM of 288KB with short access times allows
the CPU to reach maximum performance. Compared to its predecessor, this
device supports a wider range of audio decode, JPEG decode (including Moving
JPEG), and other applications. Other on-chip functions include a color-ready
LCD controller that supports Super Twisted Nematic (STN) and Thin Film
Transistor (TFT) LCDs, a full-speed USB device controller and a multi-level
cell NAND Flash memory controller. Toshiba is developing Text to Speech (TTS)
technology with very high quality natural sound characteristics. The device
supports MP3 decoding with dedicated software IP licensed from Techno
Mathematical Co., Ltd. (TMC). (For more information about TMC, please visit:
