Fujitsu Semiconductor Europe has launched the fourth wave of products in its FM3 family of 32-bit RISC microcontrollers based on the ARM Cortex-M3 processor core.
With the addition of the new products, the FM3 family now includes 370 products. The new products expand all four product groups that comprise the FM3 family – the High-Performance, Basic, Low Power, and Ultra-Low-Leak groups.
Fujitsu is adding 64 new devices to its High-Performance Group, including the MB9B510/410/310/110N/R series. The devices in this group offer higher processing speeds and multi-functional versatility.
The MB9AF310/110K series, the MB9AF312KMPC and other products add 12 new devices to the Basic Group of the FM3 family and devices in this group offer a balance between performance and cost, while still retaining the array of peripheral functions featured in the High Performance Group.
Low-Power Group adds support for both HDMI-CEC and LCD control and the 108 devices include the MB9AFB44NPMC and the MB9AB40/A40/340/140L/M/N Series. The low-voltage operation of this product group helps reduce power consumption during operation and extend battery life.
The 26 products in the Ultra-Low-Leak Group include the MB9AA30/130L/M/N series and this series inherits and refines the peripheral functions found in the High-Performance and Basic Groups, but offers lowered power requirements and reduced costs.
Fujitsu Semiconductor Europe Marketing Manager Wolf Fronauer said with the new products rounding out the FM3 Family, Fujitsu offers a complete lineup of ARM-based MCUs suitable for every application.
"Our industry-leading High-Performance Group is designed for processor-intensive system controllers and application-oriented interfaces. The Basic Group is optimized to provide the most cost-effective single-motor inverter controls. The Low-Power Group meets the demand for energy-efficient consumer products. The Ultra-Low-Leak Group conserves energy in standby-power-constrained applications and in non-CPU performance-intensive applications," said Fronauer.
