Toshiba's new series of MCUs, the M4G group, is available for high-speed data processing

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") announced the launch of a new series of MCUs based on Arm® Cortex®-M, the M4G group, which has built-in timers and communication channels, further enriching Toshiba's TXZ™ series of microcontrollers to support office automation (OA) equipment, audio and video (AV) equipment and industrial equipment. Mass production will start with selected products and then gradually expand the scope.

TXZ™ Series MCU M4G Group Product Picture

Toshiba's TXZ™ Series MCUs, the M4G Group (1), are based on the Arm Cortex-M4 core with an FPU. They integrate high-performance analog circuits, multiple timers and communication channels. They are available in a variety of packages ranging from 100 pins to 177 pins, and have built-in flash memory with a capacity of 512KB to 1536KB. They operate at frequencies up to 160MHz.

In addition to built-in high-precision analog circuits including 12-bit AD converters (up to 24 channels) and 8-bit DA converters (2 channels) with a conversion speed of 1.0μs, the M4G group of TXZ™ MCUs (1) also has two built-in DMA controllers, a high-speed DMA controller and a multi-function DMA controller. These two controllers not only achieve low power consumption but also provide advanced functions while integrating multi-function peripheral circuits such as serial memory interface (SMIF), UART, I2C, TSPI, and timers to support large-scale systems.

The built-in AD converter of the TXZ™ Series MCU M4G Group (1) can select two sampling cycles for any channel, which can reduce the impedance adjustment part in large-scale systems that require multiple sensors. In addition, the built-in timer, UART and TSPI interconnection functions, and interval sensor detection circuit (ISD) help reduce the load in software processing.

Toshiba plans to launch microcontroller groups for communication control in high-speed data processing and devices equipped with high-precision analog circuits for low- and medium-speed motor control. Toshiba will continue to enrich the TXZ series to meet the needs of the motor control and global sensing markets.
