Toshiba Starts Shipping Engineering Samples of TXZ+™ Family Entry‑Class M4H Group, Standard Microcontrollers with Arm® Cortex®‑M4 Core for System Control Applications
Standard microcontrollers supporting a wide range of system control applications for consumer products and industrial equipment
The new microcontrollers are designed as entry level products that deliver a set of essential functions. They employ an Arm® Cortex®‑M4 core with an FPU, and have a maximum operating frequency of 120MHz—the computing performance and responsiveness required for consumer products and industrial equipment, and they can also handle the core applications of system control, including control logic, interface processing, and timing control.
M4H products support a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and, by integrating a high‑speed oscillator with ±1% accuracy, help to reduce external components and improve design flexibility. This suits them for use in consumer products and industrial equipment with 5V power supplies.
The microcontrollers also integrate essential peripheral functions for system control, including a 12‑bit analog‑to‑digital converter (ADC), timers, universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART), serial peripheral interface (SPI), inter‑integrated circuit (I²C[2]), and direct memory access (DMA[3]). An additional feature is an advanced programmable motor driver (A‑PMD) that supports brushless DC motor control, ensuring flexible use in line with application requirements and system configurations.
Toshiba supports device evaluation and review with provision of engineering samples and a development environment. The company also supports smooth progress from initial evaluation to application development, by providing starter kits, sample software, CMSIS[4]-compliant drivers, and user environments for major IDEs [5].
Toshiba will continue to expand these enablement resources, including documentation, and will further strengthen its lineup of microcontroller products to meet diverse needs.
Notes:
[1] A standard microcontroller that is not specialized for a specific application, designed to emphasize versatility in supporting power supply conditions and peripheral functions, and suitable for a wide range of system control applications.
