Low-Cost H8S 16-bit Microcontrollers with Zero Wait-State Flash, USB and TFT Drive H8S/245x H8S/242x Description The H8S/245x and H8S/242x microcontrollers (MCUs) offer an extremely low-cost way to generate TFT-LCD based GUI solutions with medium graphic animation and a touch screen. No need for higher-frequency, higher-cost microprocessor (MPU) systems, simply order our development kit and get started immediately using the hardware and firmware reference platform. H8S CPU 512K Flash 64K SRAM DMA EXDMA DTC Timers ADC 5x SCI IIC&SPI USB The EXDMA unit becomes the TFT-LCD controller, requiring only 5% of CPU bandwidth for example when refreshing a WQVGA TFT-LCD panel at 60Hz, moving graphic RGB data from external RAM into the TFT panel. Plenty of CPU bandwidth remains to drive the remainder of the application and to create medium animation. Key Features * High performance 33MHz CPU with very deterministic operation due to zero wait-state Flash memory * Eight 32-bit general-purpose registers and hardware multiplier * ROM-less, 128K, 256K, and 512K embedded fullspeed Flash memory with up to 64K SRAM * USB-FS 2.0 Device interface w/PHYon H8S/245x * External DMA (EXDMA) to drive TFT-LCD panels up to WQVGA (480 x 272) with 16-bit color depth * 4 channel internal DMA and DTC * Strong timer resources (2x TPU, TMR, WDT) * 5x USART (incl ISO7816 and IrDA), 4x IIC, SPI * 16-channel 10-bit ADC, 2-channel 8-bit DAC * External CPU Bus interface * Low-power modes including deep standby * Choice of 120-pin and 144-pin LQFP packages * Operating voltage choices of 3.3V and 5V * 32-bit H8SX upgrade devices (H8SX/166x, H8SX/165x) with up to 1MB Flash and 50 DMIPS. These MCUs can can drive up to VGA (640 x 480) TFT-LCD resolution with 16 bpp color depth Applications The Renesas H8 family is widely used in Europe in thousands of products from all areas of the consumer and industrial world. Examples include building and industrial automation, metering, white goods, office automation, medical applications and electronic point of sales. Want to know more?
