Fujitsu Semiconductor has added new products to its "New 8FX" family of high-performance 8-bit microcontrollers, including 12 products from the 64-pin MB95770 Series and 12 products from the 80-pin MB95710 Series, both of which feature LCD control functionality and support a wide voltage operation range from 1.8V to 5.5V. Sample quantities of these new products are already shipping.

The MB95770 Series and MB95710 Series with LCD control functionality target battery-powered healthcare devices such as blood pressure and blood glucose level meters, to home appliances including washing machines and air conditioner indoor units, and FA devices such as thermometers and pressure gauges.

The MB95770 Series and MB95710 feature up to 60KB of embedded flash memory and peripheral circuits such as various timers, communications functions, A/D converters and analog comparators that are useful for general-purpose applications.

The MB95770 Series features display control support for up to 224 pixels, while the MB95710 Series can control up to 288 pixel displays.
Fujitsu says because the internal CR oscillating circuit that runs the operating clock, the low-voltage detection circuit that detects a drop in voltage, an analog comparator, and an event counter, which is essential for blood pressure meters, are built into the microcontrollers, the need for an external oscillator and reset IC is eliminated, thus contributing to a reduction in external components. The CR oscillator has a precision level of ±2%.

A flash security function in these MCUs protects the customer's software from unauthorized external program reading.
