PCI-PCI bridge fully compliant with specifications
Pericom's new PI7C7100 is the first triple-port PCI-to-PCI bridge device designed to be fully compliant with the 32-bit, 66MHz implementation of the PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.1
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.
This allows the integration of communication functions with motor control and industrial applications.
Until now this has required the use of an additional microcontroller.
The H8/3052F reinforces Hitachi's position as a dominant supplier in the 16-bit microcontroller with on-chip flash market.
The large flash memory of the H8/3052F coupled with 8Kbyte of RAM and a clock speed of 18Mhz makes the device an ideal upgrade for the H8/3048F, one of Europe's most popular current microcontrollers.
Next generation product design can easily incorporate the new, significantly more powerful device, as the pin-outs are virtually the same and an identical set of peripherals are used.
Housed in an FP-100B package, the H8/3052F operates from 5V and consumes only 31mA at the full 18MHz clock speed.
AC motor PWM generation is handled through its advanced ITU timer unit, which features PWM modes specifically designed for that task.
There are numerous other peripherals on the device, these include; a four channel DMA, two serial ports, an eight channel 10-bit ADC, a two channel 8-bit DAC and a watchdog timer.
A proportion of the 70 I/O and nine input-only ports feature programmable pull-up resistors, 10mA drive capability and Schmitt trigger characteristics, as well as interrupt functionality including NMI.
