Renesas Electronics Europe Announces the Availability of Four New 32-bit All Flash™ Microcontrollers in the V850E2M/MN4 Family – the World’s Highest Performance Industrial Embedded Flash Microcontroller

Dusseldorf, November 18, 2011  –  Renesas Electronics Europe , a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the availability of four new 32-bit All Flash™ microcontrollers (MCUs), the uPD70F3515, uPD70F3514, uPD70F3512 and the uPD70F3510. They provide processing performance of up to 1024 Dhrystone MIPS (million instructions per second, Note 1) at a clock speed of 200 megahertz (MHz). This makes the V850E2M/MN4 the world’s highest-performance industrial embedded Flash microcontroller. The new MCUs have up to two built-in CPU cores, up to 2MB of Flash memory and are available in a 304-pin fine pitch ball grid array (FBGA) package. Single-core versions have 64KB of RAM and dual core versions have 128KB of RAM.

The new V850E2M/MN4 family of high-performance, single-chip MCUs is ideal for factory automation (FA) systems, drives, servo drives, industrial inverters and household equipment.
