(Product News, 23 Sep 2008)

Renesas Technology Corp. has launched AE470G, a secure MCU for M2M (Machine-to-Machine) wireless communication applications, which is built around the high-performance AE-4 CPU core and integrates 144kB of high-performance electrically erasable and programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) with a guaranteed operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Suitable for use in a wide range of machines requiring M2M wireless communication capabilities, the device comes in an eight-pin ultra-thin small-outline non-lead (USON) surface mount package measuring 5x6x0.65mm thick.

The AE470G incorporates 144kB of metal oxide nitride oxide silicon (MONOS) EEPROM that can be used to store programs or data, and features 500,000 rewrite cycles and a data storage period after programming of 10 years. The product has write/erase times of 2.4ms for page-unit rewrites; 1.3ms for page-unit erases; and 1.1 ms for page-unit overwrites.
