Based on the well-established V850E1 core, the six devices of the V850E/SJ3-H series and the three derivatives of V850E/SK3-H series feature an increased clock speed from 32 MHz to 48 MHz, compared to the V850ES/SG3M and V850ES/SJ3n S Series MCUs. This now allows a processing power of up to 85 Dhrystone MIPS.
A further feature of the devices, which are optimized for use in high-performance automotive radios, CD and DVD systems, USB/SD card readers and digital terrestrial broadcast equipment, is the integrated spread spectrum clock generators. The significantly improved EMV behavior allows a reduction in development time and therewith also lower system development costs.
Pin layout and software of the new devices, which are equipped with eight UART channels, eight CSI channels and six I2C channels, are backward compatible with those of the V850ES/SG3 and V850ES/SJ3 models.
The six V850E/SJ3-H MCUs are available in 144-pin QFP packages. The three V850E/SK3-H MCUs are available in 176-pin QFP packages. Samples of the new 32-bit microcontrollers are available now. Mass production is scheduled to begin in November 2009.
