32-bit MCU focuses on digital power control

The 32-bit RX62G microcontroller is optimized for digital power control applications including motor control with PFC, digital power supply, UPS, and solar inverters. It has 128 or 256 Kbytes of no-wait-state flash, plus an additional 32 Kbyte flash and 8- or 16-Kbytes of fast SRAM.

The 100 MHz/165 DMIPs IC has a single precision 32-bit IEEE-754 floating point accumulator, a multiply/divide unit, fast interrupts, and a 5-stage pipeline. It has two 12-bit and one 10-bit A/D converter, four 312.5 ps high-resolution timers, and a 16-bit general-purpose PWM timer. The MCU can control up to three 3-phase motors simultaneously and CAN channels are optional. ($3.95 ea/10,000 — production mid-2012.)
