TOSHIBA STARTS MASS PRODUCTION OF 12 NEW DEVICES IN M4K GROUP FOR MOTOR CONTROL




KUALA LUMPUR, July 29 (Bernama) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) announced it has started the mass production of 12 new devices in the M4K group for motor control as the first products of the TXZ+™ family advanced class.

It will start mass production of another 10 products in the M4M group in August this year, according to a statement.

Both the M4K and M4M groups of microcontrollers will be manufactured in a 40nm process, and belong to the TXZ4A+ series.

These products use Arm Cortex-M4 core with FPU, running up to 160MHz, and integrating motor control circuit A-PMD (advance-programmable motor driver), 32-bit encoder A-ENC (advanced-encoder) and vector engine A-VE+ (advanced vector engine plus).

These devices provide suitable solutions for AC motor, brushless DC motor and various inverter controls with a maximum of three units of high-speed and high-resolution 12-bit analog/digital converters.

Devices in the M4K group have UART, SPI and I²C integrated as general communication interfaces, and the M4M group additionally has a CAN communication interface.

Both groups achieve low current consumption and high functionality while maintaining good compatibility with existing TXZ™ family M4K(2) group.

Documentations, sample software with example of actual usage, evaluation boards and driver software which control interfaces for each peripheral are provided together with parts shipment. 

A development environment is also provided to support various needs in cooperation with global Arm ecosystem partners.
