Toshiba, a world leader in microcontrollers (MCUs), provides a seamless product line of 8- to 32-bit embedded microcontrollers with a large variety of on-board peripherals. The Flash MCUs are widely used in industrial applications and reduce product development turnaround time. The wide selection of peripheral functions is supported with enhanced, high-quality security mechanisms. Toshiba has one of the largest product portfolios with a large number of general-purpose microcontrollers available in mass production.

Starting with 8-bit microcontrollers, the latest generation of devices offers the performance levels and peripheral selection previously only associated with 16-bit solutions. The 32-bit CISC MCUs implement a powerful architecture, capable of executing instructions in a 50 ns cycle time (typical). Designed to cover a wide voltage range, the Toshiba MCUs operate at 5V for industrial systems, down to 1.8V for applications where low-power consumption is essential. Specific microcontroller products include:

TMP91FY22:The TMP91FY22 is one of the many members of the 16-bit TLCS-900/L1 microcontroller family. This device provides higher performance, lower operating voltage and lower power consumption than previous members of the 900/L family. The controller is based on an internal 16-bit architecture with a 32-bit wide general-purpose register set. The optional external bus provides dynamic bus sizing (8/16 bits) with access to a linear address space of 16 Mbytes. Four internal micro-DMA channels support fast data transfer of 2 Mbytes/s. The device can boot either from internal Flash memory in normal operation or from a boot ROM using a serial protocol to rewrite the Flash memory. External devices can be connected easily to the MCU via the integrated chip-select and wait-state generator. Several low-power modes and different clock options make the device suitable for applications such as portable and battery powered equipment.
