Renesas Technology Adds 50MHz 32Bit Microcontrollers for PC Peripherals, Office Equipment, POS and Smart Card Payment Terminals, and Digital Consumer Electronics Products.


SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden  -- The High-Speed H8SX/1653F and H8SX/1651 Devices Have Greater Communication Capabilities and Other Peripheral Enhancements, Plus an On-Chip Debugging (programming) debugging - The process of attempting to determine the cause of the symptoms of malfunctions in a program or other system. These symptoms may be detected during testing or use by real users.  Function That Eases System Development

Renesas Technology Renesas Technology Corporation (ルネサス テクノロジ|  America, Inc. today expanded its extensive portfolio of solutions for the 32-bit embedded system Any electronic system that uses a CPU chip, but that is not a general-purpose workstation, desktop or laptop computer. Such systems generally use microprocessors, or they may use custom-designed chips or both.  market by announcing H8SX/1653F and H8SX/1651, two new and faster models in the H8SX family of 32-bit CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) Pronounced "sisk." The traditional architecture of a computer which uses microcode to execute very comprehensive instructions.  (Complex Instruction Set Computer) microcontrollers. Operating at clock speeds as high as 50MHz (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. , the new devices offer high performance and deliver on-chip functionality that enables advanced designs of PC peripherals, office equipment, consumer electronics products, industrial systems, POS (1) See point of sale and packet over SONET.

 (Point-of-Sale) and smart card payment terminals. Moreover, because the H8SX/1653F and H8SX/1651 maintain upward code compatibility with lower-performance devices in the popular H8 product line, they save time and expense when customers upgrade existing designs.

Renesas launched the H8SX series last year with the H8SX/1650 and H8SX/1657F, 35MHz devices optimized for consumer electronics products. Besides being almost 43 percent faster, the new 50MHz microcontrollers provide an expanded set of on-chip peripheral functions. In particular, the serial communication interface (SCI (Scalable Coherent Interface) An IEEE standard for a high-speed bus that uses wire or fiber-optic cable. It can transfer data up to 1GBytes/sec.

The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end.  and clock-synchronous data transfers, has been increased to five channels in the H8SX/1651 and six channels in the H8SX/1653F. The H8SX/1653F also includes two channels that support high-speed asynchronous serial data transfers and has a USB USB

 2.0 (full speed) function. To allow engineers to perform system debugging with the device mounted on the circuit board of the end product, both microcontrollers incorporate an on-chip, JTAG-compliant debugger Software that helps a programmer debug a program by stopping at certain breakpoints and displaying various programming elements. The programmer can step through source code statements one at a time while the corresponding machine instructions are being executed.  interface.

Additionally, the H8SX/1651 and H8SX/1653F support a smart card interface as an asynchronous mode See asynchronous and SCSI asynchronous mode.  extension. This makes it possible to implement highly tamper To meddle, alter, or improperly interfere with something; to make changes or corrupt, as in tampering with the evidence.  resistant POS terminals or smart card payment terminals by combining either device with a Renesas AE-series smart card microcontroller A single chip that contains the processor (the CPU), non-volatile memory for the program (ROM or flash), volatile memory for input and output (RAM), a clock and an I/O control unit. .

The H8SX/1653F has 384-KByte of on-chip flash memory that can be accessed in a single cycle, even at the full 50MHz clock speed, for the fastest possible program execution. By contrast, the H8SX/1651 has no flash or ROM and, therefore, must access external ROM. Both chips incorporate a vector base register (VBR (1) See MP3 VBR.

(2) (Variable Bit Rate) Refers to a communications or computer channel that changes its transmission speed based on any number of criteria.
) that improves interrupt responsiveness and system throughput. A boot function for writing program data to external ROM allows programs to be rewritten after the ROMless H8SX/1651 is mounted on a circuit board. Both microcontrollers have 40 KBytes of on-chip RAM.

Renesas development tools for the new H8SX microcontrollers include the E6000H full emulator Hardware, software or a combination of the two that enables a computer to act like another computer and run applications written for that computer. In the past, it was often a hardware add-on that actually contained an instruction execution module for the emulated computer. , E10A-USB compact on-chip emulator, and High-performance Embedded Inserted into.

Renesas Technology will continue to respond to the demands of the market with further additions to the H8SX family, many of which will incorporate flash memory or other higher-functionality features.
