64MHz M32C/95 Group Microcontrollers For Automotive And Industrial Use
Renesas has announced four M32C/95 Group microcontrollers, the initial phase of the M32C/90 series of top-end models in the M16C family. The new 64MHz devices are optimized for automotive and industrial applications and deliver twice the speed and more functionality than chips in the current M32C/80 series.
Offering twice the speed of devices in the M32C/80 group, the M32C/95 microcontrollers have up to 768KB of flash, a 3-channel CAN interface and many other peripherals
The M32C/90 series chips are ideal for implementing gateway functions in automotive body controller systems. They incorporate a high-performance CPU core that speeds program execution and a 3-channel CAN controller that simplifies networked embedded systems.
A single M32C/95 device can connect three CAN systems, saving cost and simplifying designs that previously required multiple microcontrollers. They also address pressing needs in industrial, OA, and communications markets for microcontrollers with the high-speed processing and excellent cost-performance necessary for boosting the intelligence of embedded systems.
