Hitachi 16-Bit Microcontroller with 512-Kilobyte On-Chip Flash Is Ideal for Controlling CD-R/RW and DVD-ROM/RAM Drives.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 27, 2001 The H8/3069F's Flash Memory Can be Programmed Via a User Boot Mode -- an Industry First -- or Via the Conventional Boot and User Programming Modes Hitachi Semiconductor (America) Inc. today introduced the H8/3069F microcontroller (MCU (1) (MicroController Unit) A computer on a single chip. See microcontroller. (2) (Multipoint Control Unit) A device that is used to moderate a videoconference of three or more end points (users at computers or groups of users ), a 25 megahertz One million cycles per second. See MHz. MegaHertz - (MHz) Millions of cycles per second. The unit of frequency used to measure the clock rate of modern digital logic, including microprocessors. (MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. ), 16-bit device with a large 512-Kilobyte (KB) on-chip flash memory, 16-KB RAM and extensive peripheral functions. The MCU, which expands the popular H8/300H series, is ideal for controlling storage devices such as CD-R/RW and DVD-ROM/RAM drives (and combinations thereof) that handle large-volume multimedia data, including still and moving images. The MCU's large on-chip flash accommodates more complex system control programs than devices with smaller-capacity flash. The H8/3069F's flash can be programmed and reprogrammed quickly even when the MCU is mounted on a circuit board, a capability that helps reduce system development times. New method for programming the on-chip flash, User Boot Mode Like other flash MCUs, the H8/3069F allows programming of its flash memory via three conventional methods: the PROM mode where the flash can be programmed via a high speed gang programmer, the boot mode, in which the flash can be programmed via a serial port, and the user programming mode where the flash is programmed by software running on the H8/3069F. The new device also provides greater design flexibility by offering a new fourth method: the industry's first user boot mode, in which a user can write a custom boot mode code. That control code can be tailored to meet specific system needs, such as selecting the interface to be accessed, or choosing when to erase the flash memory. High-speed: instructions execute in 80 ns Internal to the H8/3069F, the H8/300H series CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. core run at a low voltage Low voltage is an electrical engineering term that broadly identifies safety considerations of an electricity supply system based on the voltage used. While different definitions exist for the exact voltage range covered by "low voltage", the most commonly used ones include "mains , approximately 1.9 volts (V), that is generated by an on-chip step-down circuit from a 5-V or 3.3-V external power supply. Designers can select the MCU's supply voltage according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the voltage of the interfaces used in the system. On either power supply voltage, the H8/3069F provides high-speed (25-MHz) operation with a minimum instruction execution time of 80 nanoseconds (ns). The peripherals built into the H8/3069F include functions suited to storage device control: three 16-bit timer channels, four 8-bit timer channels, eight high-precision 10-bit A/D converter (Analog/Digital converter) A device that converts continuously varying analog signals from instruments and sensors that monitor conditions, such as sound, movement and temperature into binary code for the computer. channels, four Direct Memory Access (DMA (1) (Digital Media Adapter) See digital media hub. (2) (Document Management Alliance) A specification that provides a common interface for accessing and searching document databases. ) controller channels, and three serial interface channels. Established development environment available Fast, easy system design and debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. with the H8/3069F is facilitated by the many software and hardware development products that are readily available for the H8/300H series MCUs. Software products include a C compiler Noun 1. C compiler - a compiler for programs written in C compiling program, compiler - (computer science) a program that decodes instructions written in a higher order language and produces an assembly language program , assembler, linkage editor and simulator/debugger provided in the Hitachi Embedded Workshop (HEW), an integrated development environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment . Hardware products include a low-cost evaluation and development kit (EDK EDK Embedded Development Kit EDK Emotiv Development Kit EDK European Death Knot (rock climbing) EDK Effective Date of Key (cryptography) EDK External Drift Kriging EDK Electric Dynamic Katathermometer ) and the E6000 real-time emulator. The H8/3069F is available in 100-pin plastic QFP (Quad FlatPack) A square, surface mount chip package that has leads on all four sides and comes in several varieties. PQFP (Plastic QFP) may refer to all of the following QFP types. All quad flatpacks use gull-wing leads, except for the CQFP, which stick straight out. and thin QFP (TQFP See QFP. ) packages, both of which have a 0.5-mm pin pitch. Other MCUs with on-chip flash memories in the H8/300H series include the H8/3068F (384-KB flash), H8/3064F (256-KB flash) and H8/3062F (128-KB flash). These products allows designers to match memory capacity to existing requirements, then make quick system upgrades as system memory needs grow. Hitachi's future plans for the H8/300H series include the development of higher-speed chips and mask ROM versions. Price and availability Samples of the H8/3069F will be available 4Q 2001.
