THINKING MICROS? THINK KFS SAYS SUNRISE!

Setting standards in scaleability and software reuseability saves system costs 

Sunrise Electronics, dedicated NEC distributor is now offering designers a comprehensive choice of microcontrollers suitable for a wide range of applications from low to high end with true scaleability and software re-useability across the range.  These families have been developed to meet designers’ needs for fast turn around times and reduced system costs.

NEC’s K Series is a general purpose product line of 8- and 32-bit microcontrollers for all kinds of industrial, automotive, telecommunication and consumer applications. The range includes devices with 2 Kbytes to 256Kbytes ROM and 128 bytes to 16 Kbytes RAM housed in a broad range of 20 to 144 Pin Packages.

For applications demanding a large amount of on-chip memory, NEC’s S Series delivers high memory densities (up to 1 Mbyte Flash and 60 Kbytes RAM) and offers high performance with a max. clock frequency of 32 MHz. Available with or without built-in CAN interface, these devices are suitable for any memory-hungry embedded applications and have found favour with designers of automotive systems such as in-car audio.

Even more targeted to automotive applications for in-car systems, body electronics and accessories, the F Series series again offers a choice of 8- and 32-bit controllers with from one to four on board CAN interfaces. Packaging options from 44 to 144 Pin outlines enables an appropriate device to be chosen for a wide range of applications.

Additional devices in the K Series family are expected soon, featuring single-voltage Flash memory technology, on-chip debug capability and a broader range of flash memory and package options. Further details are available from Sunrise Electronics now.
