STMicroelectronics today announced that the roadmap for its breakthrough STM32 family of 32-bit MCUs based on ARM Cortex-M processor cores is to include new devices centered on the Cortex-M4 and the Cortex-M0 cores from ARM. In addition, ST also announced today availability of its new STM32 F-2 series MCUs that fully unleash the performance of the Cortex-M3 core.

The new RL78 16-bit MCU family from Renesas Electronics feature a high processing power of 41 DMIPS (Dhrystone Million Instructions Per Second) when operating at 32 MHz and low power consumption of only 70 µA/MHz in active mode and 0.7 µA in standby mode with the real-time clock (RTC) and low-voltage detection (LVD) functions active.

exas Instruments announced its AM1810 Sitara ARM microprocessor (MPU), a new single-chip ARM9™ solution with an integrated PROFIBUS® interface, the worlds’ most popular fieldbus used for communications between factory automation equipment. This integrated, low-power device eliminates the need for an external PROFIBUS, ASIC or FPGA, which saves development time and cost while improving system performance. The AM1810 Sitara ARM MPU has ampl...

STMicroelectronics and IAR Systems, a world leading provider of software development tools for embedded systems, announced today development tool support for ST’s SPEAr® family of microprocessor units (MPUs). This extends IAR Systems development tool support for ST products, which is already established with support for ST’s STM32 and STM8 microcontroller families.

MSC expands its product offering with the addition of two new groups of products in the RX600 Series of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) from Renesas Electronics: the RX630 Group for consumer, office automation and industrial equipment; and the RX63N/RX631 Group for networked equipment.

Renesas announced the introduction of the new RL78 family of extremely low power microcontrollers (MCUs). The RL78 integrates advanced features from both the R8C and the 78K (78K0, 78K0R) families to deliver lower power, enhanced performance, and higher integration, providing a robust migration path. The new products are built around the new RL78 CPU core, which is based on the low-power, high-performance 78K0R CPU core, and incorporates an exten...

Freescale Semiconductor has expanded its 32-bit ColdFire microcontroller (MCU) portfolio to meet the performance needs of the most demanding appliance and industrial applications. The new MCF51AG128 MCU family offers optimal performance and features to enhance system safety and integrity for applications such as washing machines, dishwashers, refrigeration, microwave ovens, room air conditioners, industrial drives/pumps and fans/compressors.
