Fujitsu Microelectronics America to Feature Full Set of MCUs, Fingerprint Sensor ICs at Embedded Systems Conference Sept. 13-16

Boston, MA, September 14, 2004 — Fujitsu Microelectronics America (FMA) will introduce a new microcontroller (MCU) series and demonstrate its complete family of 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers – along with FMA’s innovative fingerprint sensor ICs – at the Embedded Systems Conference Sept. 13-16 at the Hynes Center in Boston.

The Fujitsu MBF200 touch sensors and MBF310 Sweep Sensor? will be demonstrated in the booth. These two proven ICs are currently deployed in a growing set of biometric solutions, including handheld identity verification products, embedded matching systems and PC peripherals. FMA is working with leading software vendors to deliver advanced and reliable fingerprint sensor-based products and solutions.

FMA will also showcase its comprehensive family of 32-bit RISC microcontrollers, which operate at between 50MHz and 200MHz, and incorporate up to 160KB integrated SRAM and up to 768KB embedded Flash. They are ideal for use in automotive systems, robotics, motor-control applications, entertainment appliances, digital cameras, and other consumer and computer products. Each incorporates the CAN bus, along with features such as micro DSP, DMAC, DRAM controller, LCD controller, high-speed A/D conversion, USB connectivity, and pulse width modulation (PWM).

New 8-bit F2MC-8FX Series to be Introduced

Led by the new 8-bit F2MC-8FX series, FMA will exhibit a full range of 8-bit and 16-bit MCUs, which incorporate between 24KB and 768KB of Flash memory, along with buses and network connectivity capabilities including CAN, USB, and UART. The MCUs also include A/D and D/A converters, LCD controllers, PWM, and DMA controllers. They are used in barcode scanners, motor-control applications, card readers, control panels, robotics and factory-automation systems, medical equipment and automotive subsystems. The new F2MC-8FX series, which runs at 100 nanoseconds using a full CISC architecture, is ideal for consumer electronics applications. (See related release.)
