32-bit microcontroller family
NEC Electronics Europe announces the V850ES/Jx3-L 32-bit microcontroller family as further enhancement to its All Flash microcontroller line-up.
This new family offers new levels of energy saving to power-sensitive applications that still demand a high level of performance, memory and peripheral integration such as battery-backed multi-phase electricity meters, high-end blood glucose meters, test and instrumentation equipment, point of sale equipment and other high-end portable devices.
The new V850ES/Jx3-L 32-bit microcontroller family has been designed to provide users with huge enhancements in power consumption thanks to the development of advanced new techniques in the device architecture that requires just 0.9mW/DMIPS of power required in active mode. This power saving is achieved by advances in the power control of the Flash memory circuit, which is traditionally the largest consumer of power in a microcontroller, combined with other more established power-efficiency features developed by NEC Electronics.
Power savings are not just restricted to operating modes. In standby mode, very low current operation is accomplished by employing a sub clock internal oscillation circuit combined with sophisticated standby modes enabling the V850ES/Jx3-L to draw as little as 1.5µA.
V850ES/Jx3-L offers no compromise on performance or peripherals. The new microcontroller family benefits from the popular V850ES RISC CPU core, delivering up to 43 Dhrystone 1.1 MIPS and capable of high end mathematical operations running from 5-20MHz thanks to its highly efficient pipeline architecture and integrated DSP functions.
