Powerful A/D Converter and Fine-Grained Control Deliver Sophisticated
Features and Optimum Energy Savings
Embedded Systems Conference, SAN JOSE, Calif., April 4 /PRNewswire/ --
Fujitsu Microelectronics America, Inc. (FMA) today announced the June
availability of the latest addition to its FR series of RISC based 32-bit
microcontrollers, the MB91470 series. The new series is designed to
complement the trend towards advanced, highly sophisticated functionality
in home appliances by supporting highly accurate and speedier control. The
series delivers energy-efficient, and low-noise operation.
"A current trend in household appliances is to use data from multiple
sensors in advanced features, as seen with multiple temperature monitors
and added steam in microwave ovens to achieve best results for various
foods, and with humidification and air-particle monitoring in air
conditioners to deliver high-quality air," said Akio Nezu, senior marketing
manager for the Embedded Products group for Fujitsu Microelectronics.
"There is also demand for highly precise temperature control in microwave
ovens and induction-heating cooking surfaces, as well as quieter operation
in air conditioners, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers and other
appliances. Meeting these demands requires the ability to process data from
multiple sensors in real time and to provide fine-grained control," said
Nezu.
Industry-leading multiple channel A/D converters operate simultaneously
Fujitsu's first offering in the series, the MB91F479, includes
industry-leading triple ADC modules that support a total of 20 channels of
high-performance A/D converters, which permits the microcontroller to
accept inputs from as many as 20 sensors. Three of these channels can
execute simultaneously. Two of the ADC units have 12-bit resolution, and
another one supports 8- or 10-bit resolution to support a highly accurate
control requirement. The incorporation of 20 sensors allows the MCU to
detect very small changes in data from the sensors and operate very
smoothly.
12-bit A/D converter and pulse-width modulation provide low-power,
quiet operation
The industry's fastest and most precise 12-bit A/D converters for
embedded application are sensitive to the smallest changes, and respond
very quickly. These converters operate together with a flexible pulse-width
modulation unit that enables smooth and accurate control for the most
demanding embedded applications. This combination of features improves
power efficiency and provides quieter operation.
Uses the 32-bit FR60 CPU core for processing power
Built around the 80-MHz FR60 -- among the industry's best cores for
embedded applications -- the MB91F479 operates at high speeds to process
complex information in real time. A MAC (Multiplication and Addition
Calculator) circuit performs product-sum calculations separate from the
CPU, providing faster processing and reducing the total CPU load.
Pricing and Availability
The MB91F479 is manufactured using Fujitsu's 0.18-micron CMOS process,
and packaged in 144-pin LQFPs. Samples will be available in June 2006, with
sample prices starting at $15 each.
