ARM Cortex-M0 Core MCUs with Built-in USB Controller

Toshiba Corporation has announced the launch of three new microcontrollers TMPM066FWUG, TMPM067FWQG, and TMPM068FWXBG as the latest additions to its ARM® Cortex®-M0 core based TX00 series with a maximum frequency of 24MHz. The new ICs are optimized for use in USB devices. Sample shipments will start in the middle of October this year. The new devices support various serial interface functions, including USB, SPI and I2C (Fast Mode Plus), and can function as a sensor hub transferring multiple sensor information to a main controller device or PC.

In order to meet market demand for smaller systems, all three devices are housed in small packages: BGA package 5 mm x 5 mm with 57-pin external connection pins; QFN package 7 mm x 7 mm with 48-pin external connection pins; and QFP package 10 mm x 10 mm with 64-pin external connection pins.

With the built-in USB device controller, incorporating the ICs as sub-microcontrollers to non-USB devices allows implementation of new USB applications. Applications are expected to include tablets, PCs, digital equipment, industrial controllers, office automation equipment and sensor hubs.
