Low Power TXZ+ Family Advanced Class Microcontrollers for Motor Control and IoT Based Applications

Toshiba Electronic Device and Storage Corporation has added the Arm Cortex-M4 core based M4K, M4M, M4G, and M4N groups, and the Arm Cortex-M3 core-based M3H group of new microcontrollers to its TXZ+ family. With a maximum operating frequency of 200MHz, all five groups offer low power consumption and are suitable for a wide variety of applications such as motor control, connected IoT devices, leading-edge sensing functionalities, etc.

Along with maximum flash memory of 2MB with 100K write cycles endurance and 12-bit analog-to-digital converters with fast conversion times, all the equipment are supplemented with applicationｰfocused peripherals such as high-efficiency motor control IP or rich connectivity interfaces. The new group of devices offers a CAN interface and self-diagnostics feature, hence they are suitable for motor control applications such as air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators, inverter pumps, actuators, power tools, etc. They can also be used in IoT based OA, AV, and Healthcare devices.
