Embedded: 32-Bit MCU Has 20-Channel ADC

May 11, 2006

The MB91470 is ideal for applications that require high-performance analog monitoring. This 80-MHz MCU is based on the company's FR60 32-bit RISC microcontroller core with 32-bit multiplication and addition calculator (MAC) support that has a 72-bit accumulator. The chip has 512 kbytes of flash and 32 kbytes of SRAM. The MCU handles a pair of 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and a 10-bit ADC. Any of the 20 input channels can drive these ADCs, which are integrated with the on-chip pulse-width modulation controllers. The chips are available in 144-pin lowprofile quad flat packages (LQFPs). Pricing starts at $15.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
