Renesas Introduces 34MHz, 16-bit Microcontroller With Ethernet Controller, USB, and More for Servers, Communication Gear, and Industrial Products.H8S2472F Flash Device Has the Performance, On-Chip Peripheral Functions, and Compact Package Size That Engineers Need to Design Smaller, Lower-Cost Systems. SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Renesas Technology America, Inc. today announced the H8S/2472F, a new member of the popular H8S series that is the company's first 16-bit microcontroller incorporating an Ethernet controller. The 34-MHz device with built-in flash memory is optimized for use in low-end servers, communications equipment and building automation systems. Besides the Ethernet controller, it offers a comprehensive set of peripheral functions, including a USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. peripheral function (with Full-Speed support), I2C bus, and LPC (low pin count) bus, allowing connection to a variety of peripheral systems. Its compact (13mm x 13mm), 176-pin BGA (Ball Grid Array “BGA” redirects here. For other uses, see BGA (disambiguation). A ball grid array (BGA) is a type of surface-mount packaging used for integrated circuits. ) package allows the design of small, low-power systems. The Ethernet controller module that is incorporated into the H8S/2472 is the same field-proven design used in the devices in Renesas Technology's 32-bit SuperH[R] family. Thus, the H8S/2472F makes it simple to implement network connectivity for sharing and managing information with other systems. The microcontroller's IEEE802.3-standard-compliant media access controller (MAC) enables connections to a 10/100Mbps (megabit per second A megabit per second (abbreviated as Mbit/s, Mbps, or mbps) is a unit of data transfer rate equal to 1,000,000 bits per second. Because there are 8 bits in a byte, a transfer speed of 8 megabits per second (8 Mbps) is equivalent to 1,000,000 bytes ) Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. , eliminating the need for an external dedicated Ethernet chip and allowing system size and cost reductions. The H8S/2472 is an enhanced version of the highly successful H8S Family of microcontrollers, offering stronger, higher speed communication capabilities. It is fully software compatible with other Renesas H8S devices. For connections to a variety of external subsystems, embedded systems and peripheral devices, the H8S/2472F provides the previously mentioned USB Function and I2C and LPC buses, as well as a synchronous serial communication unit (SSU). Other on-chip functions include an 8-channel 10-bit analog-to-digital (A/D A/D See advance-decline line (A/D). ) converter, 16-channel event counter (EVC), data transfer controller (DTC DTC See: Depository Transfer Check DTC See: Depository Trust Company DTC See Depository Trust Company (DTC). ), bus-state controller (BSC (Binary Synchronous Communications) See bisync. ), 8-bit and 16-bit timers, watchdog timer, and more. The 3.3-volt device has a H8S/2600 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 with a built-in multiply-accumulate function. Flash memory size is 512Kbytes and RAM size is 40Kbytes. Support tools are available to facilitate the system design process. Renesas offers an integrated development environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment with software tools, evaluation boards, and the low-cost Renesas E10A on-chip debug emulator. Renesas Technology will continue to develop new products that offer comprehensive on-chip peripheral functions to meet evolving market needs.
