Fujitsu Semiconductor Europe has announced the latest series of its F2MC-8FX family of 8bit microcontrollers with embedded flash memory. The 32pin MB95F430 series includes devices with four channels of built-in analogue voltage comparators as well as an operational amplifier. It is suitable for system control of small home appliances, lighting and industrial equipment, such as LED ballasts, induction heating, DC/DC converters, power tools and battery chargers. The microcontrollers are available as a sub-controller due to their powerful peripherals, including many 8- and 16bit timers, 17 channels of 10bit ADC, PWM, I2C and USART serial communication modules. The dual operation flash memory with up to 100,000 erase cycles and 20 years data retention negate the need for external E2PROM, according to the company. The on-chip debug module with single-wire interface, speeds-up software development using the company's softune integrated development environment. The microcontrollers are available in LQFPs, with memory ranging from 8kbyte flash/240byte RAM to 20kbyte flash/496byte RAM. The MB95F432H and MB95F432K have a memory range of 8kbyte flash/240byte RAM. The MB95F433H and MB95F433K have 12kbyte flash/240byte RAM, and MB95F434H and MB95F434K have 20kbyte flash/496byte RAM.
