Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") today announced a major strategic expansion of its extensive microcontroller product line. The TXZ+™ family products is a new line of 32-bit microcontrollers based on the Arm ® Cortex ® core, while an 8-bit series has been added to the TLCS family based on Toshiba's original microcontroller core .

Samples of the TLCS family will be available starting at the end of March, while the first samples of the TXZ+™ family will be available starting in the third quarter of 2020.

The TXZ+™ family will be available in two categories: premium and entry-level. Premium products will have better performance than Toshiba's current microcontrollers. Entry-level products will reduce costs by limiting functionality. Toshiba will offer TXZ+™ family products for four usage platforms: one for general use and three for IoT functions supporting security, sensors and motor control.

The two advanced series products, the "TXZ4A+ series" based on the Cortex ® -M4 and the "TXZ3A+ series" based on the Cortex ® -M3, will be manufactured using the 40nm process, which is Toshiba's first 40nm manufacturing process. They offer a maximum operating frequency of 200MHz and effectively reduce power consumption by approximately 30% compared to Toshiba's current similar products. [1]

There are also three entry-level series, the "TXZ4E+ Series" based on the Cortex ® -M4, the "TXZ3E+ Series" based on the Cortex ® -M3, and the "TXZ0E+ Series" based on the Cortex ® -M0. All three products will be manufactured using the 130nm process by Japan Semiconductor Corporation, Toshiba's manufacturing subsidiary. All aspects of the production process, from the development of process technology to the development, design and manufacturing of equipment, provide Toshiba with the flexibility needed to develop equipment for a variety of applications.

They also adopted SONOS (Silicon-Oxide-Nitride-Oxide-Silicon) memory [2] , a new technology for Toshiba microcontrollers that is ideal for systems that require data to maintain high reliability and high data recovery capabilities from repeated writes and erases.

The TLCS-870/C1E series is a new member of the TLCS family and also uses SONOS memory .


Toshiba’s new MCUs meet growing demand for IoT devices that offer better performance while consuming less power, as well as continued strong demand for devices that reduce costs by limiting basic functions, particularly home appliances.

Microcontrollers are one of Toshiba's core businesses, and the company has invested a lot of resources in all aspects of its development. The company will continue to continuously improve the market competitiveness of its microcontroller business.

Notes

[1]: Advanced products reduce the power of Toshiba's current product "TMPM4G9F15FG" from 100µA/MHz to 68µA/MHz. As of March 2020, Toshiba survey.

[2]: Toshiba and Floadia have collaborated to develop SONOS memory. Toshiba’s microcontrollers use Floadia’s SONOS memory IP “G1”.
