The European electronics industry
demands full service and support.
Hitachi,responded by setting up a
European engineering and tool design
subsidiary 12 years ago:Hitachi
Microsystems Europe (HMSE) based in
Maidenhead (UK).
HMSE provides our customers with
locally designed and supported tools
ranging from low cost evaluation boards
to fully featured real time emulators
based on IBM-compatible PC’s at a very
competitive price.Software ranges from
Assembler, an ANSI C-Compiler via a
C-level debugger to MakeApp, a tool
that sets up peripherals and creates driver
routines on the click of a mouse.
H8S and H8/300H are part of Hitachi’s
software compatible H8 product range,
which covers a performance range from
400ns to 40ns cycle time, whilst
increasing word length from 8 to 16 bit
and memory space from 64KB to 16MB.
This product range offers an industry
leading mix of memory options
(including many flash derivatives),
peripherals and performance/power
consumption,all of this being software
compatible for protection of our
customer’s software investment. Hitachi
produces and ships over 20 million H8
microcontrollers every month,in a vast
range of advanced packaging and
temperature options.
H8S offers up to 25 native MIPS peak
performance (resulting in almost 10
Dhrystone MIPS),the peripherals and
the memory options (for example
H8S/2238F with 256KB Flash and 16K
RAM) to make it an industry standard in
telecommunications and very successful
in industrial (e. g. motor control,
vending machines,security systems) and
emerging consumer applications like new
electronic video cameras, still cameras
and advanced car radios. Just recently
H8S and H8/300H have also enjoyed
much success in automotive applications,
as CAN is now available on-chip and in
the rapidly growing field of smart-card
appliances,because many derivatives
include one or more ISO7816-compliant
serial interfaces.
From a statistics point of view,every day
2 customers decide to use a 16-bit
microcontroller made by Hitachi.
Usually our customer’s product
development will continue to proliferate
over the years. For those customers who
may need more performance than 16-bit
microcontrollers can offer,it is good to
know that Hitachi is an industry leader
in 32-bit RISC microcontrollers as well.
Hitachi’s SH1 and SH2 RISC
microcontroller families offer 10 MIPS
or more (Dhrystone), as well as similar or
in some cases even the same peripherals
and memory options up to 256K Flash
and 10K RAM. Please order Hitachi’s
SH RISC microcontroller shortform to
get a detailed introduction!
