  Guidelines for Meeting IEC 60730 Class B Requirements with FM3 MCUs

  Fujitsu ARM Cortex — FM3 family microcontrollers (MCUs) offer a variety of integrated functional safety features that suit home appliances, white goods and other motor-control applications. Fujitsu also provides an extensive library of safety-related software routines to make these features easier to use. Because these software routines are compliant with International Electro-Technical Commission (IEC) safety standards, using the routines greatly simplifies IEC certification for the final product.

  Improving Brushless DC Motor Control for Better Efficiency and Performance in Industrial, White and Brown Goods

  To compete in a market increasingly driven by efficiency concerns, vendors of industrial machines and household appliances must make best use of high efficiency brushless DC (BLDC) motors. Today’s microcontrollers offer the compute power and specialized features needed to leverage BLDC motors while minimizing implementation costs. The most useful microcontroller features are specialized timers and onchip CPU accelerators that eliminate the need for an external digital signal processor (DSP) — even in sensorless control applications.

  Application Ideas for 8-bit Low-Pin-Count (LPC) Microcontrollers

  8-bit low-pin-count (LPC) microcontrollers have taken advantage of process shrinks to increase their functionality and thus serve more applications than ever before at lower cost. While even LPC devices were becoming pad-limited by the 0.35µm technology node, advances in architecture, motor control, smart energy management, Ethernet and wireless connectivity requirements for home automation and control, have led to a new range of applications for 8-bit MCUs.
