16-bit microcontroller for POS market

12 March 2003 DSP, Micros & Memory

Hitachi's H8S/2377F 16-bit embedded Flash microcontroller features a high integration of peripherals and on-chip memories. The device has been developed for the EPOS (electronic point of sales) market and is suited to many other consumer and industrial applications such as plasma displays, factory automation and security systems. Key features include nine highly functional timers, three Direct Memory Access Controller or DMA-like functions, five serial ports, a 16-channel, 10-bit ADC, a 6-channel, 8-bit DAC and up to 113 I/O lines. It also offers On-Chip-Debug (OCD) support, which together with the embedded Flash memory facilitates convenient, low cost and quick debugging using the same device that is used in production. The H8S/2377RF version of the microcontroller also includes an SDRAM interface, which is an unusual feature for a 16-bit device. The H8S/2377F comes in 144-pin QFP, operates at 3,3 V/33 MHz and delivers approximately 15 MIPS Dhrystone at that speed, enough to quickly calculate RSA encryption algorithms.
