Toshiba Electronics Europe will unveil the BMSKTOPASM369, a starter kit for the first family of ARM-Cortex microcontrollers to combine Ethernet, CAN and USB host and device connectivity in a single IC. The kit is an integrated evaluation board that combines the company's TMPM369Fxxx microcontroller and an integrated power supply. Based around a 32bit Cortex-M3 core running at 80MHz and with up to 512kbyte of flash memory and up to 128kbyte of RAM, the four microcontrollers in the TMPM369Fxxx series integrate single-channel CAN2.0B, a full-speed USB Host controller, a full-speed USB device controller and a 10/100BASE single-channel Ethernet MAC. Using the board with software from partners, the company says that developers can quickly develop functioning prototypes for industrial control systems, barcode readers,motion control, home appliances and solar inverters. Interfaces provided comprise 10/100 Ethernet; USB (host and device) and USB (UART); CAN; microSD; and a dedicated motor control interface that supports direct connection to a motor power board. A light sensor, eight indication LEDs and a joystick interface are also provided. There is also a J-Link JTAG interface. All microcontrollers have two 10bit DAC channels and a two-channel encoder signal input for motor control.
