Overview

Fujitsu’s 16-bit Flexible Microcontroller series offers a scalable family concept approach to a variety of automotive and industrial applications. The combination of different FLASH/ROM/RAM sizes with different mixtures of peripherals saves development time and costs. CAN and LIN support, on-chip LCD controller, SMC (stepper motor controller), I²C bus interface, analogue input channels, external bus interface, selectable port levels for CMOS, TTL and automotive levels are some of the enhanced features. A security feature is incorporated on some devices, preventing unauthorized reading of the contents of the Flash memory.

Fujitsu's 16-bit CPU core features easy programming with plenty of data types such as bit, nibble, byte, word and long word, together with 23 addressing modes. The 16MB memory address range is accessible using bank or linear addressing modes, which are fully supported by the optimized instruction set.

On-chip registers such as USER and SYSTEM stack pointers, together with supporting instructions, provide additional advanced support for RealTime Operating Systems.

F²MC-16LX Family

Fujitsu’s family of F²MC-16LX series microcontrollers serves the entire CAN spectrum for automotive and industrial applications. It includes a wide range of single, double, and triple CAN controllers combined with a rich peripheral feature set, making these MCUs suitable for body-electronics-network applications. Fujitsu’s stepper motor controller embedded MCUs feature up to six stepper motor controllers in a single device, making them ideal for dashboard applications.

F²MC-16LX Application Coverage:

• Automotive: Body control networks, dashboards, chassis networks
• White Goods: Washing machines, refrigerators
• Industrial & Home Automation: Utility meters, heating/air-conditioning systems
• Consumer Products: Digital cameras, handheld electronic products for audio/video display control

F²MC-16FX Next Generation Microcontrollers

The new 16FX series is based on an fully compatible but improved CPU with significantly increased internal Bus bandwidth. As a result, program execution is accelerated and is up to about 3 times faster (depending on the memory model used) than the existing FUJITSU 16-bit MCUs at the same clock frequency. 16FX specific power reduction features include a reduced internal CPU supply voltage, peripheral clock speed selectable independently from CPU speed and reduced number of clocks per instruction (CPI). The result is a 78% reduction in power consumption compared to the current FUJITSU 16-bit MCUs at the same performance.

All 16-bit MCUs are supported by quality software and hardware development tools, making Fujitsu the ideal one-stop-shop for those seeking to allow their products to benefit from the microcontroller revolution.
