Mono display enhanced for handheld applications
An enhanced version of Hitachi's popular 5.6 inch 1/4 VGA monochrome display is now available for use in industrial instrumentation and communications equipment.
The H8S/2633F is equipped with 256Kbytes of on-chip Flash for end-of-line programming and field software upgrades and 16Kbytes of RAM for data storage.
The on-board peripheral set includes five serial ports for supporting ISO7816, I2C and IrDA communications standards.
Kim Allen, product marketing manager for GD Technik, said: "Hitachi has integrated the renowned H8S 16-bit core with a comprehensive suite of peripherals to develop one of the most versatile 16-bit microcontrollers on the market today.
By integrating the core, memory and peripherals into one device, Hitachi has removed many of the EMC problems that plague multi-chip solutions.
The H8S/2633F is targeted at industrial, consumer, telecommunications and office automation applications and is ideal for upgrading multi-chip to single-chip solutions." The H8S core offers a 10 MIPS Dhrystone performance at 25MHz and utilises a hardware multiply-accumulate engine to handle digital signal processing algorithms efficiently.
All Hitachi H8 and H8S 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers are software compatible, enabling customers to migrate designs with ease.
The H8S/2633F peripheral set includes: a bus state controller, a four channel direct memory access controller, a multi-channel data transfer controller, six channels of 16-bit timer, four channels of 8-bit timer, a watchdog timer with a 32kHz subclock, programmable pulse generator with associated 16 I/O pins, five SCI channels, 16 channel 10-bit A/D, four channel 8-bit D/A, 73 output and 16 input ports.
The H8S/2633F is available in 128-pin flat pack (FP-128) and 120-pin thin flat pack (TFP-120) formats.
The footprint of the TFP-120 is 16x16mm.
A low-cost evaluation board, EVB2633F, is available through GD Technik for development work.
