Fujitsu Semiconductor (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. announced today that its new ARM Cortex-M4 processor kernel's FM4 series 32-bit universal RISC microcontroller, as well as the new FM0 + series with Cortex-M0 + core. Fujitsu plans to provide batch samples of these new microcontroller products in 2013, which will be all put into production later in the year. Plus the current FM3 series microcontroller, using the Cortex-M4, M3 and M0 + processor kernel product groups will have more than 700 different products. These architectures are consistent, using flexible products will be able to meet the growing demand for higher performance and lower power consumption more broadly.
Fujitsu launches the full range of 32-bit microcontrollers with ARM Cortex-M4 and M0 + cores, enhances existing FM3 series
Fujitsu Semiconductor's 32-bit general microcontroller initially released in 2010 is based on the ARM Cortex-M3 processor core, and it has been developed 463 products. Fujitsu semiconductors continue to extend the FM3 series, introducing new products with larger capacity Flash memory, lower tubes. The FM4 and FM0 + two new series launched in 2013 will further expand its microcontroller product line: FM4 series will cover high-end product sector, with higher performance and enhanced peripheral functions, in addition to DSP (digital signal processing ) And FPU (floating point number processing unit); FM0 + series is smaller than the size of the FM3 series, the energy efficiency is higher, and the leakage current is smaller.
These new products that are pushing to market have the latest 3 Cortex-M processor kernels, not only can choose to apply for wider applications, but also enhanced each kernel in scalability, seamlessly End and high-end devices are switched between each other.
Overview
FM4 series (new product)
The FM4 series uses the Cortex-M4 processor core, and the DSP and FPU functions that have Cortex-M3 are not enhanced in the overall processing capabilities of the CPU. And the FPU is the kernel option, and the Fujitsu semiconductor program provides this feature on all products of the FM4 series. FM4 not only has a rich peripheral function of the FM3 series, but also adds SDRAM and SD card interface, enhances various clocks and serial communication functions, but also provides more package types. All products have built-in Flash inherit the flash technology of Fujitsu semiconductor in automotive-level electronic applications. In addition to inverter control, various communication functions, CAN, USB 2.0, and Ethernet, FM4 series will also adopt high-speed serial communication functions, as well as high-speed, high-performance A / D converters. These features make these products ideal for motor control and network control in factory automation, inverters, and other industrial equipment.
FM0 + series (new product)
The FM0 + series is a low-power Cortex-M0 + core with high energy-efficient products with a large number of peripheral features of the FM3 series, all products use flash technology. Compared to the previous Cortex-M0 kernel, the processing performance of the Cortex-M0 + core increased by 10%, while the energy consumed is only 2/3. Due to the design of the reduced power consumption into the microcontroller, FM0 + products will be used for low power applications. The FM0 + series goal is to maintain 70μA / MHz operating current and 0.7μA standby current (RTC mode), so that these products are ideal for applications in instrumentation equipment that require low power consumption, such as battery-powered equipment and meter, and various Sensor control.
FM3 series (enhanced on existing product line)
Fujitsu Semiconductor just just wants to expand 463 products in the FM3 series, enabling more than 500 products. However, Fujitsu actively revised the original plan, increasing the total number of products to 570 in 2013. Fujitsu will continue to utilize low-power technology to develop new products with existing product lines, and this technology is key features of low power FM3 series. Fujitsu will increase products with 1MB of Flash memory, and few low-end number models with less peripherals. At the same time, Fujitsu semiconductors provide various products suitable for applications requiring low power and large-capacity memory, such as audio and video devices, multi-function printers, flow meters, and other industrial equipment, and small-sized drives and module equipment. Saving Space Technology Application.
Fujitsu Semiconductors use three latest global standard Cortex-M series kernels in new products to market, and the goal is to provide optimal solutions for a wide range of applications.
