32-bit powertrain flash MCU employs 90-nm process

Microcontroller achieves 200-MHz speed and operation up to 125C

Said to be the industry’s first 90-nm-process microcontroller with on-chip flash memory, the 200-MHz SH72546RFCC gains a fourfold speed increase over its predecessors and features flash memory capacity of 3.75 Mbytesamong the largest available. The device operates at -40 to 125°C and is optimized for control systems for automobile engines, transmissions, and other systems that require real-time control.

The chip’s superscalar design has a double-precision floating-point unit and a cache unit that allows single-cycle access to the flash. The chip has a multifunction timer unit with up to 106 outputs, dual multichannel DMA controllers, an interrupt controller, and a 37-channel 12-bit A/D converter, as well as CAN, SCI, and SPI interfaces.

The IC is a preproduction device offering features to aid software design and debug. The 272-pin PBGA-packaged IC is the basis for an upcoming lower-cost mass-production product family that will have performance, package, and pin arrangement compatibility. Engineers performing system development using the SH72546RFCC will be able to make a speedy and seamless transition to lower-cost mass-production devices. ($980available October.)
