MCUs in the M16C/5L and M16C/56 Groups Offer 60 Percent Faster Speeds and More On-Chip Functions, Providing Improved Performance and Reduced System Cost
Embedded Systems Conference Boston 2008
BOSTON-- Embedded Systems Conference Boston - Renesas Technology America, Inc. today introduced 14 new 16-bit CISC-type microcontrollers (MCUs) in the M16C/5L and M16C/56 groups. These versatile devices allow improved performance and greater functionality in automotive body and chassis control systems. The company also announced preliminary details of the M16C/5M group, now in development.
The new MCUs are members of the M16C/Tiny series in the M16C family, and are successors to the devices in the M16C/28 and M16C/29 groups. Devices in the M16C/5L group include an on-chip CAN1 controller, while those in the M16C/56 group do not. All of them offer enhanced functionality and performance and integrate a full complement of on-chip peripheral functions that helps reduce the system parts count and size, as well as overall cost.
