KAWASAKI, JAPAN; DUESSELDORF, GERMANY & SANTA CLARA, USA: NEC Electronics announced the availability of twelve new 16-bit all Flash microcontrollers (MCUs) with built-in USB 2.0 functionality and industry-leading low-power consumption.
The new offering includes six 48-pin MCUs (78K0R/KC3-L) and six 64-pin MCUs (78K0R/KE3-L) with flash memory options ranging from 64 kilobytes (KB) to 128 KB.
USB 2.0 is an interface standard initially used in PCs and peripherals. With its high-speed transfer mode and connectivity, USB 2.0 is now widely used in consumer electronics devices such as digital audio/video equipment and healthcare products, as well as factory automation equipment.
Many of these applications require systems that are battery-driven, such as portable audio players and blood glucose meters. System designers of these products are concerned about power consumption and battery life.
To address these concerns, NEC Electronics implemented USB functionality on its industry-leading low-power 78K0R/Kx3-L family of MCUs to maximize product and battery life and minimize power consumption.
Samples of the new MCUs are currently available with mass production scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2010. Suggested distribution resale pricing for 10,000-unit quantities ranges from $3.40 to $4.55, depending on memory size, package and peripherals.
