Fujitsu Semiconductor’s FM3 Family of 32-bit Microcontrollers Expanded with 64 New Products

Offerings include industry's first high-speed 2-channel Ethernet-MAC support, ultra-low power product group

Singapore, October 18, 2011 — Fujitsu Semiconductor Asia Pte Ltd. today announced the launch of the third wave of products in its FM3 Family of new 32-bit RISC microcontrollers based on the ARM^® Cortex^TM-M3 processor core, which debuted in November of last year. In total, Fujitsu Semiconductor is releasing 64 new products, which incrementally will be made available in sample quantities.

The new products are divided into two groups: a High Performance Group with a total of 54 products that includes the MB9B610/510/410/310/210/110 Series, the MB9BF618TPMC, and other products; and an Ultra Low Leak Group with a total of 10 products that includes the MB9A130 Series, the MB9AF132LPMC, and other products.

The MB9B610/510/410/310/210/110 Series in the High Performance Group are designed for processor-intensive system controllers and communications-oriented systems, with CAN and USB2.0 functionality, as well as the industry's first 2-channel Ethernet-MAC support.

Meanwhile, the MB9A130 Series in the Ultra Low Leak Group is optimized for a broad range of battery-powered applications.

The addition of the 54 products in the High Performance Group and 10 products in the Ultra Low Leak Group brings the FM3 Family to a total of 160 products to suit every application. Fujitsu Semiconductor plans to continue expanding the FM3 to reach 200 products by the end of 2011, and more than 500 products by the end of FY 2012.

Product Overview

1. High Performance Group: MB9B610/510/410/310/210/110 Series
Frequency Operation: 144MHz
Function Interface: Ethernet-MAC (MB9B610 Series, MB9B210 Series)
USB 2.0 Host & Function (MB9B510 Series, MB9B310Series);
CAN BUS (MB9B510 Series, MB9B410 Series)
Flash Memory: 512KB- 1MB
144pin- 176pin

With a high-speed CPU and onboard flash memory, even at 144 MHz, read-operation responses incur no wait time, for high-speed processing.

These products are ideal for applications that demand high-speed processing, including system controllers, office equipment, programmable controllers, and other automated factory equipment.

2. Ultra Low Leak Group: MB9A130 Series
This series inherits the high-performance ancillary functions of its more advanced family members in the High Performance Group and Basic Group, in a concise series of products with dramatically lowered power requirements and reduced costs.

Flash Memory: 64KB- 128KB;
48pin -64pin

Thanks to a low-power CPU and power-gating technology, these products draw less electricity, helping to extend battery runtimes. And because they can be run over a wide range of driving voltages, from 1.8V to 5.5V, they are well-suited to a wide range of battery-powered applications, including medical equipment, home electronics, and digital entertainment equipment.
