The latest addition to Toshiba’s family of ARM-based microcontrollers is a device with specific man-machine interface (MMI) functionality.

Integrated features of use in MMI designs include a built-in LCD controller, a touch screen interface, a CMOS camera interface and an LCD data processor accelerator (LCDA). The LCD controller is suitable for TFT and STN display sizes up to 1024 x 768 pixels. The LCDA supports resolutions to WVGA (800x480) and delivers image scaling, filtering and blending functions.

The TMPA912CMAXBG is based on the 32-bit ARM926EJ-S core and has 32kbyte of embedded RAM for program, data and display memory.

A memory controller supports SDR and DDR SDRAM and up to 2.5Gbyte of linear access space can be addressed. 

Connectivity options include SPI, UART, I2C, I2S, and a high-speed USB device (480Mbit/s). Additional built-in peripherals include a 10-bit ADC, a six-channel, 16-bit timer, a watchdog timer, real time clock and alarm functionality.
