ARM-based MCU provides high-speed USB connectivity
Toshiba Electronics
TMPA913CHAXBG
Toshiba Electronics Europe has added an entry-level device to its family of scalable, low-power ARM-based microcontrollers.
The TMPA913CHAXBG provides a cost-effective and low component-count solution for industrial designs requiring high-speed USB connectivity and external memory management.
Based on the 32-bit ARM926EJ-S core, the TMPA913CHAXBG offers pin and software compatibility with other products in the range.
This protects investment by supporting upgrades to higher end devices, with minimum system redesign.
The TMPA913CHAXBG combines the low-power, 32-bit ARM926EJ-S core running at 150 or 200MHz with 16Kbytes of embedded RAM for program, data and display memory.
A memory controller supports SDR and DDR SDRAM.
Up to 2.5Gbytes of linear access space can be addressed.
As well as the high-speed USB device (480Mbps), connectivity options include SPI, UART, I2C and I2S.
Additional built-in peripherals include a 10-bit ADC, a six-channel 16-bit timer, a watchdog timer, real-time clock and alarm functionality.
The TMPA913CHAXBG is supplied in a 361-pin FPGA package.
It operates at temperatures of -20C to +85C, making it ideal for industrial environments.
In addition to extensive software support that includes graphics libraries and embedded operating systems, the new device is supported through the availability of a starter kit and reference platform that further speed application development and prototyping.
